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.

The fan favorite San Francisco menswear brand, a personal favorite of mine on this blog for years, already does a little bit of everything, including making rugged fall sweaters and one of the best men’s blazers. And yet, the brand started with a simple focus on making the perfect men’s shirt, which led them to the Taylor Stitch California Shirt — an iconic, modern shirt for the modern man.

Get ready, folks — the Taylor Stitch California Shirt is here to amp up your wardrobe. Your new favorite men’s shirt already comes in a pleasing array of colors and patterns, and it’s the rich Twilight Plaid shade (in sturdy yet soft brushed cotton twill) that sets this version of the Taylor Stitch California Shirt apart from the pack.

The details remain on point, from the flattering, face-framing and nicely sized collar to the washed fabric for a comfortable feel right out of the box. Beyond that, the Taylor Stitch California Shirt also comes in the brand’s signature chest sizing, with a tailored fit and a high armhole.

The fact that this shirt looks great untucked with a pair of the best men’s chinos from Taylor Stitch is no accident, and again, the Taylor Stitch California Shirt could quickly become your new favorite shirt.

And yet, your wardrobe should leave a little bit of room for interpretation: That’s where one of the best camp collar shirts is ready to shake up your menswear rotation just ever-so-slightly.

That shirt, my friends, is part of the always-engaging Taylor Stitch New Arrivals section, and the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt offers up retro and modern style in spades. It’s modeled off camp collar shirts of decades gone by, and you’ll notice that the collar lays flat in a more casual fashion, akin to something you might have seen Don Draper wear.

Crucially, the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt harnesses that same sense of casually cool style (without some of Don’s more questionable habits), and it’s every bit as well-designed as you’ve come to expect from Taylor Stitch. In my experience with the brand, texture and fabric is really where the San Francisco brand stands out, and the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt is no exception.

It’s available in two dusty, pleasingly summer-friendly shades, Orchid and Sand Jacquard, with 100 percent organic cotton washed fabric that should feel remarkably soft on the skin. So, why a camp collar shirt? Well, the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt is a touch more easygoing even when compared to a polo (thanks to the lay-flat collar and straight-hem, standard fit), so it’s a nice change of pace on breezy summer evenings.

The shorter hem also makes it easier to wear untucked, although I’ve found that most Taylor Stitch shirts can be worn untucked without missing a beat (including the brand’s stylish Oxford shirts) Even still, the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt is another much-needed, laidback style swerve on the hottest summer days.

Plus, the medium weight means you can wear the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt on your own, or you can style it as I would — unbuttoned over a heather grey T-shirt. Effortlessly cool style is the name of the game with the throwback-inspired camp collar shirt, and the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt is a worthy example to add to your wardrobe ASAP.

The key here with these shorts is the use of a few different stylistic touches, including a cuffed and tacked leg and a slight front pleat. Yes, that’s right: The Taylor Stitch Matlow Shorts boast a front pleat, but they’re not like the baggy pleated pants of decades gone by — the pleat is more streamlined and gives them an eye-catching sort of look, one that’s different (and more casual) than other of your favorite pairs of chino shorts.
