See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt is Rugged Menswear Perfection This Winter (and Beyond)

If the start of your 2025 has meant getting down to business and getting back to work — in matters of menswear essentials and of course, when it comes to actual work — then you’ve come to the right place. From casually rugged style situations to Work-From-Home days, time spent in the yard and time spent in the road, I can think of no better shirt to wear than the aptly named Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt.

If you’ve kept up with this blog and Taylor Stitch reviews over the years, you’ll note that the San Francisco brand excels at making the kind of shirting (and knitwear, and chinos, and accessories) that keeps stylish guys (like yourself) coming back for more. That same focus holds true for the latest addition to the brand’s roster of workwear-inspired shirting, and the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt plays its part well, and then some.

For starters, the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt is built with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from one of the best workshirts for men, including expertly cut-and-sewn flap patch chest pockets for your everyday carry essentials.

Beyond that, the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt makes use of a sturdy, elements-ready wool and cotton canvas blend that should take on brisk temperatures quite nicely indeed, at least in my experience with Taylor Stitch men’s shirts.

Best overshirts for men.

There’s a heft and a weight to Taylor Stitch men’s shirting, the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt very much included. The brand notes the Indigo yarns seen here will develop their own look and patina over time, never a bad thing to have when it comes to your go-to everyday workshirt. And the medium-weight build of the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt should make it a reliable layer over everything from a cotton Taylor Stitch henley this winter to a breezy graphic T-shirt come spring days and cooler summer nights.

Yes, that’s right: In my experience, the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt is a sturdy, strong and bold-looking workshirt with multi-season chops, and the brand’s signature California collar should frame your face nicely in matters of style.

Of course, like all stylish Taylor Stitch men’s shirts, it comes in exact chest sizing for a fit that’s neither too tailored nor too sloppy. What’s not to love about that?

Of course, the strong and workday-ready Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt also comes in fabrics like a rich deep Navy Corduroy, as well as shades like a versatile off-white shade of Ash, but any way you take your new go-to overshirt, it’s a winner from sunrise to sunset. With the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt, everything from Zoom calls to dive bar jaunts now seems even more stylish, functional and hey, even fun. Cheers to that, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt is a Modern Winter Menswear Favorite

Best flannel shirts for men.

In my experience, there might not be a brand that makes a better, more stylish shirt for men than Taylor Stitch. A bold way to kick off today’s post (and a new, shortened) holiday week? Perhaps, but if ever you’ve tried on or tried out the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt, then you’re aware that it’s a heavy hitter, even among the best flannel shirts for men.

Shop menswear essentials at Taylor Stitch

You might call the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt an instant classic, but it’s been a personal favorite of mine in its many iterations over the years, the latest and greatest very much included. All the hallmarks of one of the best winter shirts for men are present, including soft-yet-sturdy organic cotton twill construction with a garment-washed finish.

That makes the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt as comfortable as any shirt in your rotation, particularly if you frequently love to wear, say, one of the best men’s flannel shirts in the colder months (guilty as charged).

The rich Olive Plaid version of this winter’s take on the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt is especially eye-catching, and a nice change of pace for your own shirting wardrobe aside from white Oxford shirts and even indigo denim shirts (again, guilty as charged).

The brand’s signature California collar frames the face nicely and even gives the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt some dressy appeal — at least, beneath a navy blazer with dark blue jeans for a business-casual sort of look.

U-shaped chest pockets give this shirt a sort of overshirt or shirt jacket-type of appeal, although the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt — available in useful chest sizing — is as wearable tucked in with a shawl collar cardigan as it is untucked alongside your favorite pair of black jeans.

For winter-ready versatility and style in spades, opt for a perfectly fitted edition of the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt, then be surprised (or rather, not surprised!) at how much wear you get out of it this season (and beyond).

Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket – A Casually Cool, Rugged Shacket

Cutting corners isn’t necessarily an option as you seek to build out your rotation of cozy, reliable winter style picks. That holds true in mostly any season, but especially if rugged men’s style essentials are the name of the game.

We’re talking brands you can trust, brands that take the ordinary and make it all that much more special, well, those are the best menswear brands to know, in my experience. And that, of course, leads us to the fine folks at Taylor Stitch, once again.

I’ve been a fan of the brand for close to a decade now, from its buttery-soft yet tough flannel shirts to its expertly cut chinos, and you can now count the Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket as yet another favorite for your rotation (and mine).

Best Western shirts for men.

Crucially, the Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket fuses together so many things that Taylor Stitch does well, including its ability to craft expertly cut shirts — and its ability to turn those same shirts into durable, rugged shirt jackets.

So, with the outdoor-ready Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket, you get both a classically cool Western shirt and the warmth of a toasty shirt jacket, all thanks to the sherpa lining beneath its tastefully faded 100 percent cotton denim exterior.

The effect is both retro and yet of the moment, and details like side slant hip pockets elevate it above a typical Western shirt in terms of utility. Slant snap chest pockets also drive home the timeless Western flair of the aptly named Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket — what’s not to love about that?

See Now, Buy Now: Add the Taylor Stitch Evans Crew to Your Casual Style Rotation this Winter

For as much as winter is about layering up with a bit of flair via one of the best sweaters for men — a shawl cardigan, a sweater polo or a sweater with some pattern and color, for instance — the basics and subtle style are also an important part of your wardrobe. Of course, you can get both from my friends at Taylor Stitch — more on that in just a moment.

Simplicity is sometimes best, whether searching for a stylish sweater as a base layer or scouring the market for a sweater you can wear easily and casually at home or on the road. And my friends, in my experience the Taylor Stitch Evans Crewneck just gets the job done when it comes to minimal, crisp and versatile style for winter.

Taylor Stitch Evans Crewneck review.

Right off the bat, there’s the crewneck design — more casual and slightly more ready to wear with a wider variety of jeans in various washes than the traditional V-neck sweater. But the Taylor Stitch Evans Crewneck steps things up slightly (yet still simply) from a casual crewneck sweatshirt, thanks to the wool-polyester-nylon blend.

Plus, the crewneck design features a heavyweight rib for some structure — with the Taylor Stitch Evans Crewneck, it certainly doesn’t look like you’re just wearing an easygoing long-sleeve tee. And then, there’s the texture — again, subtle and eye-catching but no less suitable for wearing on its own with dark blue jeans or underneath a waxed trucker jacket.

It’s sturdy, it’s useful for travel as a base layer, and it’s suitable to wear as you play host to friends for a holiday whiskey tasting or gift exchange (two of my favorite things!). When it’s straightforward yet polished style you seek, rock the Taylor Stitch Evans Crewneck alongside dark denim — it’s an unbeatable combo for a crisp-yet-laidback look.

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat Is a Hard-Working Fall and Winter Classic

Best winter peacoat for men.

In my personal experience scouring the market for the best winter style essentials for men, I find that the classics, as I often say, are the classics for a reason. That goes for style staples like the tried-and-true henley, the blue jean, the leather lace-up work boot and more, of course — as well as for one of the best peacoats for men.

And luckily for us all, the fine folks at Taylor Stitch are once again making a standout example of this iconic piece, a silhouette that’s got decades of history in every stitch.

The peacoat, with its sturdy wool build, was trusted by seafaring men and naval officers in brisk, frigid conditions, and the best men’s peacoats to this day hold up admirably — like the aptly named Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat, of course.

Part of the brand’s new coastal and adventure-inspired Treadwell Collection, your new favorite peacoat arrives not a moment too soon for late fall and early winter layering.

The Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat is built with uncompromising quality top of mind, as I’ve found with most sturdy, strong Taylor Stitch men’s jackets and coats (and flannel shirting, but that’s another blog post for another time.

A blend of strong yet flexible 19-oz. 72% wool and 28% nylon gives this jacket warmth, structure and wearability, especially considering the fact that the body is lined in organic cotton chambray.

Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat review.

The wool exterior of the Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat should prove plenty warmth when winter winds and snow hit, while the wool blend is burly enough to take on snow without weighing you down or getting wet (a prized feature of some of the best jackets for men, of course). The Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat boasts a classic six-button front and double-breasted design, with an oversized collar made to be turned up at the wind.

Shop Taylor Stitch seasonal menswear

Designed to hit below the hip (but not quite long enough to cover most blazers or suit jackets), the Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat checks all the right boxes as far as a casually rugged yet still elegant coat is concerned.

It’s a surefire layering staple atop chambray shirting, fisherman sweaters and flannel shirts, and it’s a reliable choice to finish off many an outfit, including ones featuring leather dress boots and tobacco-hued chinos.

Yes, the classics are the classics for a reason, and the Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat hits on all the right notes to be considered one now — and in the future.

The Tuesday Steal: These Rugged Taylor Stitch Ranch Boots are 40 Percent Off Right Now

Taylor Stitch men's boots review.

There’s perhaps never been a better time than right now to get a deal on some of the best boots for men — or the best on-sale menswear, period — from one of your favorite retailers. That retailer in question? It’s Taylor Stitch, of course, purveyors of some of the most rugged fisherman sweaters, tough waxed jackets, sturdy shirting and now, some of the best boots to buy on sale.

You’ve very likely shopped plenty of Taylor Stitch menswear over the years, what with the brand’s focus on expertly cut shirting and outerwear in helpful chest sizing, but what about the fast-selling array of Taylor Stitch boots?

I’ve had the chance to try Taylor Stitch over the years when it comes to my own footwear rotation, and believe me when I say that you should take any chance possible to score savings on the San Francisco company’s rugged men’s boots.

Some of these styles can be found right now at a discount in the Taylor Stitch Last Call section, which is worthy of your time if you want savings on a stylish plaid buttondown, on cozy lounge pants or even on some cabin-worthy knitwear. But back to your footwear rotation — durability, toughness and style go hand in hand with Taylor Stitch men’s boots, and that certainly holds true with the Taylor Stitch Ranch Boots.

In my experience, the Taylor Stitch Ranch Boots boast expert construction — not unlike the brand’s shirting and outerwear, and that goes for the soft leather lining as much as the durable waxed suede exterior. The Taylor Stitch Ranch Boots are weather-ready and built to last, with a sturdy Vibram lug outsole and Goodyear-welted construction — the kind that’s fit for years of wear.

The profile is reminiscent of a work boot, but the overall style can be dressed down with jeans or dressed up with your favorite chinos — that’s about as versatile as it gets, and since they’re on sale right now for 40 percent off, that’s as striking a deal as you’re apt to find.

The Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt is a personal favorite, a shirt that channels the classic style of an Oxford buttondown in some unexpected ways when it comes to color and pattern — like the dusty Baked Clay Plaid option shown above right now.

It’s but one stylish men’s shirt you can now find at a discount in the Taylor Stitch Last Call section, and it’s marked down not a moment too soon for versatile, dependable autumnal style.

When it comes to the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt, the details make the difference, particularly in terms of a wear-with-anything, anytime 100 percent organic cotton Oxford fabric build. That fabric is also garment-washed for a lived-in look and feel, and the sort of comfort I value right out of the box.

Details like a crisp buttondown collar — the kind that nicely frames your face — make the difference, and touches like a chest pocket really drive home the classic Oxford shirt styling potential. And as with every edition of the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt, it’s cut in the brand’s chest sizing options, all the better for a nicely tailored fit with a high armhole.

The Thursday Buy: The Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater Is an All-Time Classic

If you want proof that sometimes, they do still make menswear essentials like they used to (at least to some degree), then the revamped Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater is proof positive in that regard. It joins an already stacked rotation of Taylor Stitch menswear for the season, which includes burly knitwear, ultra-soft flannel shirting, soft yet sturdy chinos and even canvas work pants.

Head to Taylor Stitch now

In my experience, it’s all made to last and built with quality in mind, and this handsome sweater — which nods to utterly classic menswear — is the cream of the crop, so to speak. Look closely and you’ll see that the rugged Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater has all the hallmarks of iconic knits worn decades ago — down to the oversized, contrasting rib collar and — yet is bolstered with modern materials.

Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater review.

When it comes to the Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater, that means this sweater uses 100 percent merino wool, the kind that’s responsibly sourced. Moss stitch construction gives this sweater both durability and a distinctive look in two versatile colorways: Taupe, as seen above, or Dark Navy for a slightly more tailored, yet still timeless, look.

The Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater is a bold choice as far as autumnal style goes — it wears well with indigo selvedge jeans as it does with canvas work pants during a cold log cabin morning. And it should layer up nicely over an Oxford shirt for a mix of high-and-low, polished-and-rugged style. Granted, the Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater doesn’t come cheap (it clocks in at $238).

And yet, for the sort of legendary looks and modern materials you’re getting in one package, it’s a new fall knit worth picking up — and wearing as often as possible on brisk fall and winter days.

If you ask me, those are the kind of jeans that get better with age, one of many qualities to love when it comes to the best selvedge jeans for men.

These unwashed raw denim jeans also boast plenty of classic design touches you’d expect from finely crafted selvedge denim, including selvedge detailing and the brand’s classic organic cotton San Francisco map pockets. The handsome Taylor Stitch Slim Jeans in Rigid Organic Selvedge also feature an iconic button fly and durable hardware, two further details you should also know and love from the company.
