The Thursday Buy: The Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Polo Belongs in Your Closet Now

Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Polo

Quickly, go over your mental packing list as you prep for your first (or next) summer road trip. You’ve probably got your rugged leather weekender bag all set, and hopefully, it’s packed with men’s style essentials for summer from Taylor Stitch. But something very well might be missing, and that missing item? It’s one of the best polos for men, done the way only Taylor Stitch can craft a rugged-yet-wearable polo. That’s because the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Polo is truly one-of-a-kind through and through, and it checks all the right boxes as far as a polo you can wear for a summer getaway (and well beyond that). Yes indeed, add this classic men’s polo to your wardrobe and your packing list, and get ready to be impressed with how often you can find uses for this versatile men’s shirt.

It’s nothing like the polos you might be used to wearing, which were often too baggy and perhaps featured a large logo (you’ve got a polo in mind already, right?). The Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Polo, however, is all crisp and modern style, featuring a tailored fit and the sort of fabric that’ll make you do a double-take. That’s because this polo is made from the brand’s proprietary Heavy Bag fabric, a blend of upcycled cotton and recycled polyester that breathes easy and looks great.

Best polos for men

As one might expect, that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to your new favorite polo. Again, the tailored fit is a major bonus, meaning you can wear this polo to the office on its own with Taylor Stitch chinos as easily as you can layer it up with your new summer blazer. Crucially, the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Polo looks great with everything from slim tan shorts to light wash denim, and you can even wear it to the beach with vintage swim shorts — before grabbing a cold beachside beer, of course. If you fancy wearing easygoing Taylor Stitch lounge pants alongside your Taylor Stitch polo, well, you can certainly do that, too.

Plus, the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Polo, with its slightly longer three-button placket, is just the right balance between dressy and casual. If you want a polo you can wear with a blazer, my friends, this is the one. It’s also helpful that one of the best polos for men comes in two essential colors that are neutral enough to pair with anything: Both Olive and Natural are going to look absolutely great this summer. The Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Polo is your perfect summer style move: Don’t leave home without it.

Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Adventure Shorts

Best men's shorts this summer

As far as gearing up for summer is concerned, I hope you’re ready — and I hope you’re ready to dive in with some of the best shorts for men at the forefront. The Taylor Stitch Adventure Shorts, ladies and gentlemen, are the very shorts you need for summer’s many adventures on land, on the trail and in the water. You likely won’t find a more versatile pair of men’s shorts on the market at the moment, but would you expect anything less from a brand that manages to get a heck of a lot right? From the best heirloom leather jacket to a classic Oxford shirt and your favorite chinos, Taylor Stitch simply manages to knock it right out of the park with the best menswear essentials around, and that’s not just hyperbole.

If you can believe it, the Taylor Stitch Adventure Shorts are a far cry from the shorts you’ve probably grown accustomed to wearing across the past year-and-change during the pandemic. They’re not an old pair of athletic shorts, nor are they too stuffy or stiff, like even some chino shorts tend to be at times. Here’s what sets apart regular shorts from the best men’s shorts to buy this summer: Fabric and design, two areas in which San Francisco-based Taylor Stitch assuredly excels.

SHOP: The Taylor Stitch Adventure Shorts 

Taylor Stitch Adventure Shorts

The Taylor Stitch Adventure Shorts, for starters, blend organic cotton with nylon and spandex, plus a DWR finish. That means they’re durable yet lightweight, made to move with you and repel water. In short, that also means that these are some of the best adventure shorts, too. It’s remarkable what these rugged men’s shorts have been designed to do, another hallmark that sets Taylor Stitch apart. They feature front slash pockets, like you might find in a pair of chino shorts, but those pockets have drainage holes for water — who’s up for a quick dip at the local watering hole? Plus, an elastic waistband and drawcord provide the comfort and stretch you need from some of the best shorts for men this season.

Helpfully, the Taylor Stitch Adventure Shorts are available in three versatile and cool-as-heck colorways: Navy, Rust and bold Tiger Camo. If there’s one thing your shorts need this summer in addition to functionality, it’s style points: The Taylor Stitch Adventure Shorts deliver, folks. Last but not least, the 8-inch inseam should hit above or at the knee for most of us, and you can still rock these if you’re a bit taller and want shorts with some room to move. From A to Z and top to bottom, the Taylor Stitch Adventure Shorts deliver the goods, and then some. Would you expect anything else from Taylor Stitch? Surely not. Summer’s here, and it’s time to get out there.

Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Apres Pants

As we cruise through Memorial Day weekend into the rest of summer, there are certain essential menswear brands you’ve got to keep top of mind to outfit you properly for the dog days ahead. If you read the blog on the regular, you probably know what I’m about to say next: San Francisco’s Taylor Stitch is one of the best menswear brands out there, and it just so happens that the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are, well, some of the best men’s pants to beat the heat in style all summer long. With the comfort of tailored sweatpants and the same style as, say, Taylor Stitch chinos, believe me when I say the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are a must-have pair of summer trousers.

HELM Boots

The time is now, as in, right now, to restock your wardrobe with the best pants for men, the kind of breezy pair you can wear without a second thought, no matter how hot it gets out there (and no matter what’s on your summer agenda for each and every weekend). The key, as with classics like a Taylor Stitch indigo shirt or the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee, comes with the unique blend of durable construction, breezy style and versatile good looks. It’s a trio of must-haves that Taylor Stitch gets right over and over again. Let me put it this way: The Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are the answer to the question, “What pants can I wear when it’s hot out?” and man, do they ever answer it decisively.

SHOP: The Taylor Stitch Apres Pants 

The great thing about the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants is the fact that, first and foremost, they wear like your breeziest, most comfortable pair of sweatpants…and yet, they’re not the sweats you’ve been wearing for over a year at this point. No sir, the best pants for men are made from an organic cotton double cloth that’s been heavily washed for a lived-in feel right from the start, and the indigo dye will wear in nicely over time.

Mack Weldon The front slash pockets aren’t all that different from your favorite chinos (same thing with the back patch button pockets), and yet, the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants channel perfectly laidback comfort and style all the same. The elastic waistband is a touch that works nicely for relaxed days at home or days about town (wear the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee and a Taylor Stitch denim jacket, and no one will be all the wiser that you’re not wearing a belt). It’s that ideal blend of utility and dependable style, at home or on Zoom calls or at your favorite brewery, that makes these some of the best pants for men this summer. You can count on Taylor Stitch’s pants when you need them the most, so it’s time to add ’em to your shopping cart.

A rugged, classic cardigan the likes of only Taylor Stitch can make.

There comes a day in every season, especially winter, when bone-chilling cold hits you as soon as you wake up. You rush to closet and search for one of the best sweaters for men in these trying times, but you might come up short — that is, until you pick up the Taylor Stitch Crawford Sweater. It’s the latest and greatest addition to the Taylor Stitch line of sweaters, one that just so happens to be positively packed with the best men’s sweaters for winter and well beyond. But to me, it’s the Taylor Stitch Crawford Sweater that really takes the cake, what with the use of organic cotton and seed stitch construction to give it some texture and visual interest. It gets plenty better from there, though.

It’s always worth watching when Taylor Stitch puts its collective design prowess towards a new silhouette, and in this case, it’s a rugged shawl cardigan. This classic men’s cardigan, in fact, gives off some very similar style vibes to, say, Daniel Craig’s cardigan in “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” –– that’s style to be emulated right there, is it not?

Taylor Stitch Gibson Jacket

As versatile a winter jacket as it gets, folks.

The great thing about the Taylor Stitch Gibson Jacket is the versatile design that makes it unlike any other blazer out there. Front flap patch pockets provide both space for your everyday carry essentials and travel documents (or even a small notebook), while the center vent gives it the clean look and ease of wearability of a classic winter blazer for men.  The Gibson Jacket’s fabric, a blend of wool and reclaimed fibers, is comfortable to the touch and not scratchy. And here’s the real kicker: You can wear this jacket with the collar standing up and the throat latch buttoned to protect yourself from the elements, or you can turn it into a proper blazer in just a jiffy, thanks to the 3-roll-2 design (3 buttons on a jacket, made to look like a two-button jacket — neat, ehh?). Two interior zippered pockets add even more EDC-minded functionality, and the fact that the body of the jacket is unlined means you can even wear it casually atop, say, a Taylor Stitch henley without missing a beat. Taken all at once, the Taylor Stitch Gibson Jacket checks all the right boxes (and then some), and it looks absolutely great doing so. Make it yours today.
