Knocking out your to-do list, or trekking out far afield for an adventure, demands gear that passes muster and literally gets the job done, ehh? It’s no joke when brisk weather rolls into town and when duty calls — you’d better be outfitted with the best workwear on the market, I’d say.
And that brings us to Taylor Stitch, the NoCal brand best known for its burly flannel shirts, expertly crafted Oxford shirts and dependable outerwear — gear fit for both the work done at the office and work done out in the field.
The Taylor Stitch Good Acre Collection fits the second of those two pursuits, a fan favorite offering that recently returned to the Taylor Stitch menswear lineup by popular demand. Taylor Stitch perhaps said it best, calling these durable chore pants “homegrown workwear for whatever an honest day’s work looks like for you,” which sounds like a mission statement I can get behind.
The key with the Good Acre Chore Pants? The use of hard-wearing 100 percent duck canvas construction, which stands up to wind, rain, abrasions, dust and debris with ease — as I found out testing these pants during a brisk, breezy fall season in my home state of Michigan.
The Coffee Canvas color is particularly appealing when it comes to these handsome yet sturdy work pants, which are built out with details like reinforced knee construction, plus a pen sleeve and reinforced rear pockets to amp up your everyday carry storage space.
The Good Acre Chore Pants are also expertly crafted with a classic medium rise and a leg opening that tapers ever so slightly from the thigh through the knee down to the ankle — wide enough to wear over a pair of leather work boots, clean enough to wear with moc toe chukka boots for an off-duty dive bar beer alongside your trusty Taylor Stitch trucker jacket.
You’ll certainly find that Taylor Stitch took good care of the details, pun intended, with the Good Acre Chore Pants, including an eye-catching leather back hip patch and front slash pockets, all the better to access your EDC at a moment’s notice. And while these durable work pants for men might prove a touch pricey at $208, they’re also crafted in California with plenty of attention to detail and quality craftsmanship in mind.
I myself prefer the Coffee Canvas offering of the Good Acre Chore Pants, but the Olive Canvas colorway should pair easily with everything from a dark blue chambray shirt to a grey waxed cotton trucker jacket and your favorite thermal henley. The possibilities in terms of rugged workwear are limitless with your new favorite pair of outdoor adventure pants this season (and beyond), my friends. Trust Taylor Stitch to — you guesssed it — get the job done.
