Our Philosophy

A lot has happened since Henry first found some shirtmaker's offcuts. It's been almost 15 years since then, but some things don't change.

SIRPLUS started with surplus. And as we've grown, we have always returned to our purpose. We still see unused materials as an opportunity. The opportunity to turn specially selected offcuts into lifetime companion pieces, for a life well-lived.

As our product range has grown, we have adopted more fabrics into the fray. We source fabrics that fit with our principles - to create clothing that looks good and does good too. Approximately one-third of our garments are still made using carefully chosen surplus materials from other producers.

When it isn't possible to source surplus, we commission thoughtfully selected new materials. Functional, durable and of the highest quality, they are always responsibly-produced and made to the same high standards we demand of our surplus pieces, meaning every yard is made to last.

As our founder Henry says: "We focus on retaining our value and identity rather than forecasting and following trends. This way we aren’t dictated by trying to pre-empt the hottest new print or style..."
