Christmas 2020 is coming and odds are you have a vegan friend or two on your list. You can’t go wrong with these 10 vegan friendly gifts any man will love.

If ethical and sustainable are on your gift list you can check those boxes too because all of these brands are Eco-Stylist approved. While this list is focused on men’s gifts, we threw a few unisex options in there for you too.

1. Worn Wear® ReCrafted Tee | Patagonia

Everyone wears t-shirts. Well, everyone who loves comfort.

This vibrant option is made with reclaimed post-consumer fabrics; a fancy way of saying fabric destined for the landfill. Each shirt is a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester patches from old Patagonia tees.

These t-shirts are a lot of fun since they’re constructed from fabric scraps, making each one completely unique. Made by hand with love in California, these t-shirts tell stories.

2. Organic Cotton Boxers | Pact

These days, it’s trending to make your clothes last. (We saw you showing off your 7-year-old jacket at that party last weekend, Bob, and you were lookin’ fine).

However, it’s so not cool when it comes to your underwear. Here’s a conscious undergarment he’ll certainly love.

Pact’s boxers are not only soft and comfortable but also made with GOTS certified organic cotton, made in Fair Trade factories, save 15.8 gallons of water, and completely vegan friendly.

Behind the Scenes

“Sustainable” gets thrown around a lot these days. In contrast to all the clickbait big media articles, at Eco-Stylist we only say sustainable when we really mean it.

Before recommending any brand to you, we research them utilizing Remake’s sustainable brand criteria. This holistic approach helps us ask all the tough questions while being completely transparent about our research process.

At Eco-Stylist it isn’t sustainable if it’s not also ethically made.
