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

Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt

I’m not sure about you, but when I find a menswear essential I love, I tend to stick with it and find it in as many variations as possible. That goes for staple pieces like the best men’s chinos or one of my favorite henleys, and it’s especially the case with one of the best flannel shirts on the market.

And when it comes to today’s post, that flannel shirt is the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt. It’s an everyday workhorse that cements the San Francisco brand as one of the best menswear brands to shop now, and it’s not hard to see why.

Perhaps you’ve tried other crisply designed Taylor Stitch men’s shirts like the California Shirt, which nails the proper details in terms of a modern Oxford shirt. The Ledge Shirt, on the other hand, has a touch more rugged appeal with the same classic Taylor Stitch attention to detail.

That means they’ve used a super-soft washed 8oz. organic cotton for comfort right out of the box, then done up the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt in a variety of rich, seasonal colors (like the Tarnished Brass Plaid option).

Then, the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt is finished with dark horn buttons and classic workwear chest flap pockets. That means, at least in my experience, that you can wear this handsome flannel shirt on its own or as an overshirt over a rugged henley or thermal shirt.

Either way, it’s going to add a sense of timeless appeal to any look, especially when paired with blue jeans and your favorite pair of leather boots. Plus, it’s easy to shop in the brand’s signature chest sizing options. All the proper boxes are checked with this shirt, and that’s a great thing to have in your closet.

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket Is Back and Better Than Ever This Year

Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket 2023

There are certain menswear moments that, each year, tend to roll back around like clockwork, and in the best way possible. When one of your favorite menswear brands recognizes a great thing, like the longevity and instant appeal of one of the best leather jackets, that’s something to be treasured (and shopped, and worn).

I’m talking, in this case, about the 2023 Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket, a hotly anticipated restock from the famed California brand, one I’ve looked forward to for years and one that should certainly live up to the hype this year.

The brand knows plenty about dependable gear and long-term craftsmanship, be it a rugged vest for fall or some of your new favorite boots — and hopefully, you’ve experienced that quality firsthand. And in the case of the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket, it’s been a dedicated brand staple for a decade now.

Best leather jacket for men.

In the case of the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket, that commitment to quality is evident in every last stitch. It’s handmade in San Francisco from rich, immaculately well-crafted drum-dyed 3.5-oz. full-grain steerhide, then finished with PrimaLoft insulation. Yes, that’s right: This jacket truly was designed for wide-open country and blustery days, and the brand wouldn’t have it any other way.

Plus, the handsome Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket also comes in three impossibly cool shades of leather (including the aptly named Whiskey Steerhide, a deep Espresso Steerhide and a sleek black leather option. It’s rugged, it’s road-ready and it’s an heirloom piece in every sense of the word.

The two-way zipper (from the zipper maestros at YKK) should prove durable and long-lasting (befitting the $1,075 price tag, of course), while even the hip pockets are lined in flannel for added warmth. It’s also got a bi-swing, gusseted back, two handy EDC chest pockets and zipper cuffs for easy mobility and a customizable fit.

As I tend to say, if it seems like Taylor Stitch thought of everything with one of the best leather jackets for men, that’s because they absolutely did. The proof is right there in every stitch of this incredibly well-crafted jacket, so do yourself a favor and layer up accordingly — this is one jacket to treasure for years to come.

The Friday Read: Fall’s Best Men’s Style Essentials From Taylor Stitch & More

Taylor Stitch fall menswear 2023.

My friends, let’s close out “the week that was” in fine form, first by taking a look at some of the best fall style essentials on the market. Those fall style essentials, if you’ve been keeping up with the blog the past few days, come from a plethora of places, but namely: Taylor Stitch. As I always say, a reminder can be more than helpful at times in the menswear world, right?

Shop Taylor Stitch now

Of course, the San Francisco menswear masters are a personal favorite brand of mine (and one I’ve covered extensively on the blog over the years). They craft everything from rugged-yet-soft flannel shirts to expertly crafted denim, chinos and hard-working outerwear.

Why, I wrote about the rugged and simply excellent new Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots only earlier this week, and they could very well be your new favorite pair of fall boots. Yes indeed, this fall weekend is a prime time to shop the brand.

I’d wager you don’t need me to tell you twice, but shopping for the best fall menswear should only be part of your equation this weekend. In fact, if I were you, I’d consider bolstering my bar cart with the warming spice of Ancho Reyes chile liqueur.

Add Ancho Reyes to your bar cart ASAP

This recommendation isn’t out of left field: If you follow me on Instagram, you’re well aware that I trekked South of the Border this week to see the chile fields of Puebla, tour the Ancho Reyes operation and of course, sip on two Ancho Reyes expressions while staying at the excellent Hotel La Purificadora. This is all part of my many freelance writing pursuits, including covering spirits (and much more!) over at Maxim.com.

You’ll have to stay tuned for more from this trip in the weeks ahead, but know that it was a vibrant, colorful getaway — one that made me grateful for the high heat and sun of Mexico, and yet all the more ready for a stylish fall in Brooklyn (and all the more ready to wear pieces like that stylish cardigan shown above!).

On that note, I’m signing off to go browse over at Taylor Stitch (and I recommend you do the same!), and you can find me back here tomorrow for Saturday’s Style Pick of the Week. Cheers and thanks for reading, as always!

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots are the Coolest New Fall Boots to Buy Now

There are surely more than a few style situations on the horizon for you this fall (and myself!) that are going to require you to lace up a pair of the most rugged boots for men. It could be something as light-spirited as a brisk morning tailgate, something in-between like a coffee shop visit and brewery beers, or something more hard-wearing, like a day hike or a upstate getaway.

For those situations and more, meet your new favorite pair of boots, courtesy of Taylor Stitch and Danner.

Learn more now at Taylor Stitch

The two standout West Coast brands — Danner with decades of Pacific Northwest bootmaking excellence, Taylor Stitch with nearly 15 years of crafting the best modern menswear — teamed up on the new Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots.

The resulting pair is an ode to Danner’s lightweight Ridge Hiker, with customary Danner performance details (the brand makes some of my favorite pairs of men’s boots), not to mention Taylor Stitch’s uniquely stylish point of view. And the Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots fit nicely in both worlds, with the proper style details and performance specs to match.

Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots 2023.

The Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots start from the ground up, literally, with a sturdy yet comfortable Vibram® Kletterlift Thin outsole, the kind that can grip slippery terrain with ease. For even more comfort, they’re amped up with a removable Ortholite footbed, while a GORE-TEX waterproof liner keeps your feet dry. The rich dark brown pebbled leather is distinctive and will develop a handsome patina with age, but it’s the dry-waxed camo side inserts that give these boots an extra dash of style.

Part tailored jacket, part sweater, all versatility.

The Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots are resoleable, which is great news — you’ll have these USA-made men’s boots for years to come. Speed hooks deliver a secure fit and a classic hiking boot touch, which is ideal for even more stability on uneven terrain.

Of course, you can rock the Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots more simply, say with a pair of Taylor Stitch indigo denim and a Taylor Stitch workshirt, for easygoing fall pursuits aplenty. Get ahead of the curve and invest in the best for early fall with the latest and greatest from Danner and Taylor Stitch.

Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt – Your New Favorite Shirt Jacket

Taylor Stitch men's shirting.

In my experience, the building blocks of any good wardrobe (which we tend to talk about time and time again here on the blog!) are the pieces you know you can count on in matters of style, functionality and versatility — season after season. It’s should come as no shock that season after season, Taylor Stitch is one of those brands in my personal array of stylish gear.

There’s always something you can count on, especially as we approach the rugged climes of early fall, in the Taylor Stitch New Arrivals section, and the even better thing is, the brand never really strays too far from what it does best: Timeless, rugged everyday selections in useful designs (like one of the best shirt jackets), updated seasonally in cool colors and fabrics.

And on that note, meet the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt. Or rather, get a reintroduction to this highly wearable shirt jacket as we close out summer.

The latest iteration of the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt retains all the hallmarks of other Taylor Stitch shirts and shirt jackets, like button-through chest pockets and bar-tack stitching at key stress points. Plus, this edition of the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt comes in a soft, garment-washed organic cotton French terry fabric, and the Charcoal color is finished with monochromatic charcoal buttons.

It also comes in a cool, classic Fatigue Olive color, but the real benefit to the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt is, well, its utility. It’s heavier than the brand’s Oxford shirts, but made from organic cotton French terry fabric, unlike the brushed flannel quality of the famed Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt.

You should be able to wear your new favorite shirt jacket reliably right now — on cool late summer nights and breezy mornings — with a classic pocket tee, and then I’d suggest layering up this durable shirt jacket over your favorite henley as fall rolls on. You can count on Taylor Stitch, and you can assuredly count on the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt to sort out your layering game from now through the season ahead.
