Bogart Man
You have probably seen the Bogart crest on a polo shirt at a wedding, a braai or a Friday night out. Bogart Man has built a following among South African men who like their clothes to be noticed.
It is not a basics store. A plain tee here costs what a full outfit costs at a chain store, so the useful question is whether the look is worth that to you.
What they do
Bogart Man is a menswear label that sells its own designs, not other brands. The range covers clothing, shoes and accessories, and most pieces carry Bogart branding, from small crests to large graphic prints.
The brand sells online and through its own boutiques. The site lists stores across South African provinces and in Namibia, so you can usually try things on in person before ordering.
For deal hunting, Bogart Man sits in Fashion on The Real Deal.
What to look at first
Polo Shirts and Tees
The easiest way into the brand. Polos and tees with crests, stripes and knit details, mostly priced from about R1,300 to R3,700.
Best for: smart-casual outfits with a recognisable label.
Jeans, Cargos and Trousers
Distressed and coated jeans, cargo pants and drawstring trousers. Some statement jeans go well past R6,000, so check the price before you fall for the fit.
Best for: building a look around one standout piece.
Jackets and Tracksuits
Bomber and trucker jackets, windcheaters and matching tracksuits. The full tracksuits are among the pricier items in the range.
Best for: men who like a coordinated set.
Sneakers and Slides
Bogart-branded sneakers, trainers and slides, plus boots and dress shoes. These are fashion shoes, not sports shoes.
Best for: finishing an outfit in the same style.
Accessories
Caps, belts, bags, eyewear and colognes. A cap or belt is a cheaper way to wear the brand.
Best for: gifts and smaller buys.
Simple way to think about it
First time buying Bogart Man? Start with one polo or one cap and see how often you actually wear it. That tells you more than any lookbook.
If you already like the style, the bundles and coordinated sets are where the brand makes most sense. Just know that you are paying for design and the name, not for a technical fabric.
Before buying a full outfit, check whether Bogart Man has any live deals on The Real Deal.
What makes Bogart Man different
Bogart Man is a designer label with a distinct look and its own store network. You are buying the brand’s styling directly, and the boutiques mean you can check sizing and fabric before paying.
The trade-off is price. These are designer prices for casual menswear. If you prefer quiet, logo-free clothing, this is not the place to start.
The practical bit
Shipping: Free on orders over R2,500, according to the site banner. Smaller orders show the fee at checkout.
Delivery: Delivery times are not clearly stated online, so check at checkout or ask before ordering for an event.
Returns: The site mentions 30-day returns, but the written policy gives 7 days for change-of-mind returns, paid out as a voucher or store credit. Clearance, final-sale and marked promotional items are excluded. Defective goods follow the Consumer Protection Act.
Support: Contact the brand via bogartman.com or the online shop email listed on the returns page.

Final word
