From the best men’s leather jacket to the best classic T-shirt for men, is there anything Taylor Stitch can’t do? Well, if you read the blog, I’d wager you know that, well, there really isn’t all that much that the lauded San Francisco retailer can’t get right. I’ve long been a fan of Taylor Stitch, as you very well know if you’ve checked out the blog this summer (or in the years prior to that!), but it’s always worth revisiting what a favorite brand does as the years progress. In the case of Taylor Stitch, that means they continue to make essential classics, like the Taylor Stitch Natural Cotton Hemp Tee, to go along with the consistently stellar Taylor Stitch Workshop. It’s a great place to get, say, the coolest leather jacket on the market, but we’re here today to talk about something a little more basic.

Now, I don’t mean basic in a bad way, because this Taylor Stitch T-shirt is about as well-made as it gets when it comes to summer knitwear (another consistent theme on the blog as of late). The specs on the Taylor Stitch Natural Cotton Hemp Tee are what really separate it from the pack, which is why it’s worth spending a bit more ($36 at Taylor Stitch) compared to your run-of-the-mill pack of T-shirts at your local chain store (trust me on this!). If you’re a fan of Taylor Stitch Oxford shirts or outerwear, know that every bit as much quality has gone into this sustainable T-shirt as those staple, big-ticket pieces.

This might seem like an overly simple T-shirt on the surface, but rest assured that it’s anything but that. The blend of 4oz. organic cotton (70 percent) and hemp (30 percent) should prove breezy and comfortable, and of course, highly sustainable. When it comes to even the most subtle style moves, Taylor Stitch has thought of every detail, right down to the fact that the Taylor Stitch Natural Cotton Hemp Tee is also garment-washed for a soft feel and every more breathability. That sort of breathability is key if you want to continue wearing, say, Taylor Stitch jeans with your tee on hot summer days.

And the Taylor Stitch Natural Cotton Hemp Tee also fits quite well: It’s neither too tight nor too baggy, it’s just right (note that the brand goes by chest sizing – so 38, 40, 42 and so on) for its sizing. It results in a timeless fit that should work well for most guys out there. The Taylor Stitch Natural Cotton Hemp Tee is certainly wearable on its own, beneath a Taylor Stitch overshirt or underneath a Taylor Stitch leather jacket. It’s the type of T-shirt you’ve got to try out to believe its quality, and then once you’ve done that, you’ll want to stock your wardrobe with nothing but the Taylor Stitch Natural Cotton Hemp Tee. If you do give it a shot, let me know in the comments. Happy shopping!
