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 Friday Read: A Brooklyn Autumn Weekend & New Taylor Stitch Menswear For The Season

I often say here on the blog that fall — in all its charms — is the most wonderful time of the year for menswear, and that certainly holds true as we roll into another crisp, brisk Brooklyn weekend here at your favorite style blog.

I’ve had the chance this week to explore each and every one of my passions when it comes to freelance writing, including an excellent evening dining with Timex in Manhattan to celebrate the upcoming launch of a new timepiece designed by none other than creative director Giorgio Galli himself. I also had the time to look back on a truly wonderful fall weekend in Pennsylvania with my love Mary, for which I was outfitted accordingly — see below!

And if you keep up with the blog, I’ve also written about rugged new Taylor Stitch menswear, like the the Taylor Stitch Workhorse Jacket as shown above. It’s a prime layer for the season at hand, with a quilted lining for added warmth and durable construction for layering aplenty.

And as you know if you keep up with me on Instagram, I did my best to layer up for some chilly New York City days and nights in fine fashion, relying on favorite pieces like a refined Todd Snyder flannel shirt, trusty Billy Reid jeans and my go-to, rugged leather Ariat Chelsea boots. And yes, for those interested, Taylor Stitch and its rotation of sweaters were certainly in the mix.

In fact, Huckberry-approved brands like Relwen have been making some of my favorite flannel shirts of the moment, for instance. Speaking of Huckberry, consider this your reminder — an urgent yet stylish reminder — to shop the annual, very rare Huckberry Sitewide Sale for savings of at least 15 percent off.

There’s much more to come on that front this weekend here at your favorite Brooklyn style blog, but it certainly pays off to shop early and often when it comes to Huckberry. For now, let’s layer up in rugged, refined and versatile fashion for a late fall weekend, and let’s look forward to the joys of the season ahead in all its many stylish forms.

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?

Learn more now at Taylor Stitch

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.

See Now, Buy Now: This Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Henley is the Base Layer Your Fall Wardrobe Can Use

Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Henley.

In my experience, as the seasons change and roll back around — from summer into fall, in this case — it’s more than worth it to have a few choice style essentials close at hand, the kind of pieces you can come back to time and time again.

Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Henley review.

Take one of the best men’s henleys, a stylish choice that can serve as a rugged base layer or an option to wear all on its own — and the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Henley more than gets the job done as a timeless, modern classic. It’s the kind of useful, well-crafted piece as suited for wearing alongside the best selvedge denim from Taylor Stitch as with canvas work pants or even the brand’s famed chinos.

And in my experience, it delivers properly in terms of form, fabric and durability — to say the very least. Yes indeed, if you needed a reminder that fall is all about proper layering and utility, then the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Henley should be your starting move of choice.

Best fall henleys for men.

It comes in the brand’s helpful chest sizing (from sizes 36 to 46), another useful starting point as you search for a tailored henley that’s flattering enough to wear on its own, and easy enough to layer beneath a waxed trucker jacket or a durable denim shirt.

With the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Henley, it’s about so much more than fit however, and the company proves time and again that it takes its fabric seriously.

This particular option (especially in the Heather Oat colorway, my personal favorite) uses a sturdy 5oz. organic cotton that should hold its shape over time. A ribbed collar and cuffs add durability and style, and the two-button placket is a classic, appealing touch.

It comes in a wide array of useful colors (including Faded Black as shown above), and each is about as versatile as it gets this fall season. A rugged henley flatters every guy, and the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Henley is certainly no exception — time to embrace the season with tried-and-true menswear picks aplenty.
