About Us
Not just worn. Felt.
The Glade was born from a desire to return: to earth, to touch, to intention.
Each piece celebrates the ritual of dressing; slowing down and choosing quality - your wardrobe as part of daily ceremony.
We choose natural fibres, small-batch production & gentle tailoring to express a healthier, conscious masculinity; redefining strength through grace, restraint & care.
You’ll find no slogans here. No noise.
Welcome to dressing with presence.

OUR story
welcome to the glade
We couldn’t find garments that felt incredible to wear & were made responsibly...so we did it ourselves.
What emerged was a love letter to stillness and substance. Each piece designed to move with your body, stand the test of time & feel effortless to wear.
Our commitment to quality and sustainability drives everything we do; from the fabrics we select to the partners we work with.

our promise
sustainability is sexy
We are steadfast in our mission to protect the planet and only create locally, ethically, and sustainably.
Crafted within a 5km radius of our Sydney design studio, each item has a traceable supply chain and is created in small-batch runs, restocked only when demand calls.
This approach reduces waste, preserves quality and honours every stitch.
our commitments

1. sustainable & circular practices
We only use organic, recycled or sustainably managed plant-based fibres, such as 100% Recycled Cotton & Eucalyptus (Tencel).
These fabrics are sourced only from trusted suppliers. From fibre to fabric, our suppliers have fully transparent supply chains, helping to further minimise our carbon footprint and environmental impact.
We also employ circular design practices, focusing on small-run, high quality production as part of our responsibility to the planet.
Part of this responsibility includes being open and transparent in what we make, and how we make it. In doing so, we hold ourselves accountable for our own actions.
We aren’t perfect, but we are trying to improve each day. While our fabric is fully traceable and we have full transparency with our production team, there is still work to do with our trims.

2. Local, Ethical production
To maintain our quality craftsmanship & reduce wastage, we produce in limited quantities.
Every piece is sewn by our exceptional makers here in Sydney, Australia and in supporting us, you are supporting artisanal quality and a local, ethical supply chain.
We say The Glade is an investment in quality over quantity. Our collection is designed to work with your body, not against it.

3. Themwear: All bodies & all genders
While we mention menswear a lot, The Glade really exists for all body & gender expressions.
As a queer-owned business we really believe in the power and safety of inclusive design.
Something as small as a men’s skirt can open up a whole new world for people and we mean it when we say there is a seat for you at our table.
As we only launched mid-2023, we are still constrained by prohibitive costs and overheads, but the more we grow, the more we can streamline our model, and the more affordable and accessible we will become.
We are working towards a made-to-order service where the uniqueness of each body can be calibrated and celebrated.
