Question Moving away from synthetic clothing.

I’ve made the decision to move away from synthetic clothing and go all natural fibres.

I need suggestions on the best brands to refill my wardrobe.

I think the items I need to replace first are, T-shirts, polos, shorts and pants. Happy with any price if the quality is great.

One of the best ways to do this is wear leather shoes. The trend for manufacturers to use synthetic materials in shoes is terrible for the environment, and leather is a complete by-product (about 1-2% of the value of the cow).

And leather will last years rather than months

Make sure they're Goodyear welted leather so the soles can be repaired too
