Breaking the Stigma Around Men’s Mental Health.
For 75 years, our brand has been more than a menswear label—we've been a companion in men's lives, crafting confidence and style. Today, we deepen that commitment with a partnership with Beyond Blue aimed at supporting men's mental health and dismantling the stigma that surrounds it. At the heart of this initiative is our mission to help men lead happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives—not just through what they wear, but by supporting their mental health and emotional well-being.
The Blue Shirt Initiative
Mental health is a cornerstone of a fulfilling life, yet many men face challenges in silence. Societal expectations often pressure men to appear strong and unshaken, leading to the suppression of feelings like stress, anxiety, or depression.
This stigma can prevent men from seeking help when they need it most. Through the Blue Shirt Initiative, we contribute $10 from the sale of every blue shirt to Beyond Blue’s 24/7 Support Service. This vital resource offers free, confidential support to individuals facing life's challenges, providing immediate assistance whenever it's needed.
This initiative is about more than shirts; it's about sparking conversations, showing solidarity, and proving that no man has to face his challenges alone.

Recognising Symptoms of Mental Health Issues in Men
$10 from the purchase of each blue shirt goes directly to the Beyond Blue support service.
Understanding the signs of mental health challenges is crucial for early intervention.
Common symptoms in men may include:
Physical Symptoms: Constant tiredness, headaches, muscle pains, stomach issues, sleep problems, and significant weight changes.
Emotional Symptoms: Feelings of failure, worthlessness, or hopelessness, irritability, anger, and mood swings.
Behavioural Changes: Withdrawing from friends and family, loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, increased use of alcohol or drugs, and neglecting responsibilities.
Recognising these signs is the first step toward seeking help and fostering a supportive environment.

"I always thought asking for help was a weakness. But when I finally called Beyond Blue’s support line, it changed my life. That conversation gave me the hope I needed to start rebuilding myself."
