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.

Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt review.

With the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt, the brand has hit a nice middle ground between traditional workwear and classic buttondown shirting, using 100 percent organic cotton construction in a tough crosshatch weave.

Taylor Stitch men's shirts review.

As we’ve talked about lately here on your favorite men’s style blog, there’s no time like the present to revamp your favorite men’s style essentials ever so slightly as we cruise past summer. So, while you might have mastered the art of laidback summer staples like one of the best linen jackets for men or one of the best pocket T-shirts, it pays off handsomely to have a few tricks up your sleeve.

What kind of menswear tricks? How about one of the best men’s Western shirts, especially one from my friends at Taylor Stitch? That’s the spirit, and it’s an expert change of pace to add some rugged appeal to many a casual look.

While San Francisco’s Taylor Stitch is already well-known for making some of the best men’s Oxford shirts on the market, this Western shirt is more casual, more easy to dress down and just as expertly made. The Taylor Stitch Western Shirt, especially in washed denim, checks off a few boxes more than handily, from the throwback Western detailing to its durable design.

In fact, the Taylor Stitch Western Shirt is almost more like a shirt jacket than a classic buttondown shirt, particularly considering its 100 percent organic cotton construction in a medium-weight 6oz. build. It also boasts Western-style snap pockets for rugged, classic appeal, and it’s been washed for a broken-in look and comfort right out of the box.

Best men's Western shirt for 2024.

That holds true whether you layer the Taylor Stitch Western Shirt atop a classic pocket tee or your favorite henley, or style it all on its own with the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants, for instance.

With its durability, devil-may-care style potential and handsome good looks, the Taylor Stitch Western Shirt is cut for just about anything, especially casually cool summer nights around the bonfire. Add to your cart accordingly, folks.

See Now, Buy Now: This Taylor Stitch Linen Jacket is Perfect for Summer Travel

Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket review.

When a modern “classic” gets a revamp in a summer-friendly fabrication, it’s worth taking another look — another very close look at one of the best summer jackets for men, that is. And that’s what the newest edition of the Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket brings to the table, and this time, it’s even better than before.

Learn more now at Taylor Stitch

The rugged-meets-refined, versatile chore coat is already one of the best jackets for summer nights, and there are previous iterations that turn the chore coat style into a warm-weather classic. This new take ups the ante even further, and the Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket in Chili Linen Stripe gets the details right in every way possible.

Just like a Taylor Stitch organic cotton polo or one its durable-yet-soft T-shirts, it all starts with premium fabric, the kind that can go just about anywhere in this ever-versatile, hybrid-style silhouette. The Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket in Chili Linen Stripe has classic chore coat detailing throughout, with two lower hip patch pockets and a chest pocket — complete with a pen slot, naturally.

Taylor Stitch bar-tacked these patch pockets for durability at stress points, giving the jacket a rugged appeal. Helpfully, in my experience, the Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket in Chili Linen Stripe is a jacket that can stand up to light workwear situations and a day’s worth of travel as easily as it can pass as a stylish blazer replacement (when it comes to workwear, think more of the drafting table than the yard or a job site, of course).

Crucially, the Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket in Chili Linen Stripe also gets the details right in terms of looks — the chili linen stripe color is a nice change of pace in terms of summer fabric.

The linen-cotton fabric blend should also prove hardy enough for cool summer nights, yet breathable enough when layered over Taylor Stitch men’s shirts, polos and even a rugged henley for a mix of high-low style. That high-low style extends to its wearability with everything from the best light wash denim to Taylor Stitch linen trousers, too.

Is the Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket in Chili Linen Stripe a true do-it-all jacket? Very nearly, and that’s what counts this summer.

See Now, Buy Now: This Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo is a Surefire Daily Style Winner

Best summer polos for men.

It seems that lately here on the blog, the best polos for men have been a prime topic of conversation. In my experience, that’s as it should be: When done the right way, as with the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo at the top of the page, the style is a timeless classic.

Learn more now at Taylor Stitch

We’re talking a stylish polo for men that’s more elevated than a T-shirt, more breezy than even one of the best Oxford shirts, and wearable with everything from the best linen pants to chino shorts (at least, in my experience). And the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo fits the bill quite nicely, seeing as it’s made from a brand obsessed with putting a modern, well-fitting and distinctive spin on throwback staples.

It helps that this polo shirt is also updated with eco-friendly organic cotton, and the laundry list of features carries on from there. The Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo is also available in a Bleached Natural Stripe option, plus a deep Indigo Stripe, but the Washed Indigo iteration is my personal favorite.

That color gives it wearability with everything from dark tan chinos to light grey linen trousers and even navy dress pants (don’t forget sleek leather loafers).

Shop men’s shirts and more at Taylor Stitch

And as with other Taylor Stitch men’s shirts, the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo comes in the brand’s excellent chest sizing options — a tailored fit that’s not too tight, and is often flattering (especially on my 6’2″ frame, the 44″ chest size works particularly well).

The two-button placket is more relaxed than somewhat dressier polos, but with the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo, it’s as if the brand has simply upgraded your favorite T-shirt in a more polished way. When casual-yet-elevated style scenarios come calling, reach for the breezy, well-made Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Polo — it’s a new daily summer staple, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: The Taylor Stitch Easy Pants are Your Perfect Pants for Spring & Summer

Best lightweight pants for men.

Staying stylish in the spring and summer months, the high heat of the season, doesn’t have to be uncomfortable or taxing. And when you find warm-weather menswear essentials that help you bridge the gap between comfort and style, all the while staying cool as can be, that’s what I like to call the sweet spot.

So it goes with Taylor Stitch, a brand that delivers refined, polished essentials with easygoing appeal all the same. And in my experience, the Taylor Stitch Easy Pants embody that mindset perfectly — your new favorite pants are here just in time for spring and summer, and it only gets better from there.

Made from a 5.5oz. 100 percent linen build, they embody the classic, breezy fit of lounge pants or straight-leg chinos. But here’s the kicker: They use supremely comfortable details like an internal drawcord waist for added comfort, all the while topping the waistband off with belt loops (if you feel so inclined).

Taylor Stitch Easy Pants.

And naturally, some of the best lightweight pants for summer get the all-important details like fit absolutely correct. The Taylor Stitch Easy Pants feature a classic mid-rise and a tailored fit with a slight taper down to the ankle.

In my experience, this design is the sort of reliable fit that looks as polished with your favorite chukka boots as it does with some of the best loafers for summer. They’re also a touch more refined than some other more rugged Taylor Stitch menswear pieces, like a canvas shirt jacket or a garment-dyed hoodie.

That gives them versatility as well as a dash of refinement, in my opinion. In my experience, you can throw on your new favorite linen pants (available in two dusty, versatile colors) with everything from a knit polo and those trusty loafers to a pocket tee and canvas sneakers.

When breezy, comfortable and casually cool style is the name of the game, the Taylor Stitch Easy Pants heed the call, and then some. Don’t let them pass you by as you build out your rotation of the best menswear essentials.

Best hooded sweatshirt for men.

In my experience, the deeper you get into the menswear game, the more you appreciate the finer things — like the fact that sometimes, a hooded sweatshirt can be more than just, well, a casual hoodie for men.

Not only that, but this crucial, sporty layering piece can evolve into one of the best hoodies for men, particularly when done the right way by the right brand. In this instance, that brand is Taylor Stitch, and the hoodie in question is the Taylor Stitch Apres Hoodie. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

The Taylor Stitch Apres line of casual menswear is easygoing enough to rock as loungewear at home or on a spring upstate retreat, boasting tailored (yet elastic waistband) shorts and super-soft lounge pants. Oh, and yes, this stylish men’s hoodie. It’s made from a sturdy yet supple 14oz. organic cotton, perfect for throwing on over a T-shirt when it’s just a bit to breezy for a solo tee alongside your Apres Shorts.

Heavyweight ribbing at key points, like the cuffs and bottom hem, gives this stylish hoodie a more rugged nature, making it ideal for beach bonfires and even as a layer beneath a trucker jacket on day hikes (or brewery visits). Yes indeed, the Taylor Stitch Apres Hoodie only gets better with each wear, thanks to the bleach-washed vintage finish, too.

And the Taylor Stitch Apres Hoodie also features a lay-flat three-piece hood, a helpful detail that gives this hoodie a surprisingly clean look. One of your favorite menswear brands has certainly considered every detail, even with this casually cool piece, and that alone makes the Taylor Stitch Apres Hoodie worth adding to your easygoing style rotation this spring.

They’re certainly a brand I’ll be turning to time and again this season, as you no doubt know if you’ve read the blog on the regular as of late. What’s your go-to move when it comes to Taylor Stitch menswear? I find the brand as versatile and functional as it gets, especially pieces like the Taylor Stitch Shop Shirt, and that goes for everything from Brooklyn rock concerts (one of which I’ll be attending this weekend!) to brewery beers and park strolls.

For your own weekend style pursuits, here are a few handy tips and tricks to take in, from a stellar new tequila to stylish new menswear. See You Out There, folks.

1800 Tequila
  • Here’s one to really whet your whistle this weekend. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I also get the opportunity to cover the world’s best spirits (what a job!) as part of my many freelance writing pursuits. Those pursuits took me to lovely Tequila and Guadalajra last month, specifically with 1800 Tequila to sample a stellar new 1800 Tequila expression inspired by a Mexican historical heritage site. What a trip indeed! You can read more about the trip, and learn all about one of the best new tequilas on the market, over at Maxim.com.
  • Let’s step back into matters of spring style, shall we? In this case, quite literally — I tend to favor durable boots and high-top sneakers in my daily style rotation, but getting the best of both worlds is now easier than ever. That’s because dependable sneaker boots are now the name of the game for many top footwear retailers, including SeaVees as shown above. And accordingly, I covered the best sneakerboots for men for my friends at WERD. Lace ’em up and let’s get after it folks.
  • And now, we’ll keep it casual to close out my weekly rundown. The versatility and classic looks of one of the best T-shirts for men are nearly unbeatable, especially as you shed some outer layers on breezy spring days. And with that being said, the good folks at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder are now making one of the best American-made T-shirts on the market, as I covered yesterday on the blog. Give it a read here, then shop and stock up.

On this fine spring Friday in Brooklyn, that’ll close the curtain on today’s overview of top-notch spring shopping, excellent tequila for your bar cart and of course, Taylor Stitch menswear. It all goes hand-in-hand when you really think about it, and that’s what we’re all about here at The Style Guide.
