Who We Are

We started Classic Cut with one simple goal: to perfect the everyday shirt for South African men.

In a market full of boxy fits, cheap materials, and shirts that never seem to sit quite right, we saw a gap — and more importantly, we felt it. As two ordinary South African guys ourselves, we were tired of buying clothing that didn’t fit our bodies, our style, or our standards. So, we set out to change that.

What began as a mission to create the perfect t-shirt has grown into something much bigger: a local brand dedicated to high-quality, everyday clothing that fits the modern South African man — no matter his lifestyle, build, or budget.

The Fit Comes First

At the heart of every Classic Cut shirt is our custom-designed fit — built from the ground up using real feedback from our customers. We tested dozens of samples, lengths, sleeves, hems, collars, you name it. We wore the shirts ourselves. We asked our friends. We sent samples to customers and asked them to be brutally honest.

The result? A cut that's tight where it should be and loose where it needs to be. A shape that moves with you, not against you. And most importantly, a shirt you’ll reach for again and again — whether you’re at work, on the move, or kicking back on the weekend.

It wasn't always easy

We started small. Really small. Two guys, one idea, no fashion background — just a belief that we could do it better. We packed our own orders. Ran Facebook ads from our bedrooms. Shot product photos with an iPhone. There were sleepless nights. Suppliers that screwed us. Thousands of rands in unsold stock. Out-of-Stock issues still sticking out its neck.

But the mission kept us going. And with every new customer, every positive review, every returning order — we knew we were building something worth it.

What's next?

Now, we’re growing fast. More shirts. More styles. More colours. More ways to build a wardrobe around fit, quality, and simplicity.

But we’re still focused on the same mission: perfecting men’s everyday clothing in South Africa — one shirt at a time.

Soon, you'll replace your entire wardrobe with Classic Cut, but first, we're perfecting the t-shirt.

Join the Movement

We’re not a fashion brand. We’re a fit-first brand. If you’re tired of shirts that don’t fit, or clothing that doesn’t feel like you — you’re in the right place.
