See Now, Buy Now: Get the Job Done With these Rugged Taylor Stitch Good Acre Chore Pants

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.

Best workwear for men.

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.

Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket review.

Ever come across a piece of menswear that’s so jaw-dropping, so instantly memorable, you immediately need to have it — or at least, you immediately need to add it to your wish list? That’s what this writer first thought upon seeing the remarkable, investment-level, seriously cool Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket — a long-running fan-favorite that arrives every autumn like a welcome, brisk breeze amongst the rustle of the changing leaves.

Yes, that’s lofty praise, but this stylish men’s leather jacket is an utter classic for a reason, at least among the modern parlance of men’s leather jackets. And yes, it’s back this fall and simply better than ever.

Shop new autumn gear and more at Taylor Stitch

We’ve talked about an array of the best leather jackets for men on this site in recent weeks, but few can match the construction and quality of this West Coast style staple. And while the price is assuredly investment-worthy and perhaps quite the splurge, I’d say you’re getting your money’s worth with the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket, and then some. Taylor Stitch worked with its partners at Golden Bear to craft this jacket, one that was inspired by a vintage leather jacket built for the long haul, as the San Francisco brand says.

Crafted in the United States of America – no easy feat these days, my friends, each of the three variations of this handsome jacket are fashioned from hard-wearing, full-grain, drum-dyed 3.5-oz steerhide that should become more supple with each wear.

It’s fully lined and features flannel-lined pockets for added warmth — while it’s not quite a beefy puffer jacket or winter parka, you should be able to wear this jacket atop a flannel shirt and henley on especially brisk autumn days.

The specs on the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket only get better from there — it also features Thinsulate insulation for substantial depth and warmth on the open road, with articulated back construction and a cropped fit for added mobility. Antique brass hardware, including a two-way YKK zipper and antique brass snaps, lends a further air of rugged durability to a jacket that’s bound to become your new favorite.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this standout leather jacket, one of the coolest fall jackets for men, is moving quickly in leather shades like Espresso Steerhide. No matter which of the trio you select, this jacket is just about as ruggedly stylish as it gets when paired with classic dark blue jeans and a thermal henley, or else a plaid flannel shirt jacket and trusty Taylor Stitch moto boots (another personal favorite of mine).

For remarkable quality and durability, for almost limitless style potential and with longevity in mind, I’d wager it’s tough to beat the wearability and utility — plus fashion points aplenty — of the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket. Inquiring minds, head to Taylor Stitch to learn more.

Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Long Haul Jacket in Organic Selvage – An Ideal Layer to Carry You Through Summer

The yearly return of the Taylor Stitch Long Haul Jacket seems to herald a new season, and the latest iteration of one of the best men’s jackets, period — at least in matters of casually rugged style — fits the bill quite nicely.

The Taylor Stitch Long Haul Jacket is a true fan favorite from the modern San Francisco brand, taking cues from old-school trucker jackets yet updated with a more modern fit and of course, modern fabrication via organic cotton selvage denim, the kind that wears in well over time without wearing out (as the brand famously tends to say).

This handsome denim jacket tends to come in different fabrications through the seasons, the latest being a Mid-Wash version in a mid-weight, seasonally ready 11.75-oz. 100% cotton slub denim.

From there, the stylish men’s denim jacket is done up in a variety of washes and colorways, including Soil Slub Denim as well as the versatile Mid-Wash Denim version — one you can wear with everything from olive chinos to black denim. That’s not the only thing to love about the Taylor Stitch Long Haul Jacket, including details like durable hardware and tack buttons and rivets.

In terms of the Mid-Wash version of this cleanly cut and throwback-inspired denim jacket, Taylor Stitch notes that its “sndigo yarns will wash and fade beautifully over time,” while the distinctive zig-zag reinforcement stitching on its under collar and front placket deliver further points of distinction.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, with the ability to fade wonderfully over time the more you wear it — and it’s hard to see many casual style situations in which your new favorite denim jacket wouldn’t tend to come in handy, right? Ahead of the dog days of summer and leading into early fall, I’m willing to bet you’ll get plenty of utility from the latest version of the modern icon that is the Taylor Stitch Long Haul Jacket — cheers to layering up this season, my friends.
