I remember stumbling onto the Taylor Stitch website a few years ago because of a marketing campaign they used at the time, touting one phrase: Future Heirlooms. Simple, concise, and the entire concept resonated with me in a major way.

What if we viewed the clothes we were buying — or at least the pieces we had set aside more room for in our budgets — as future family heirlooms? This concept gets quickly drowned out in the fast fashion of it all, but I love that Taylor Stitch is and has always been creating garments that are — as they put it — built for the long haul.

If you ask yourself every now and then, “will my kid be stoked out of their gourd to find this in my closet 15 years from now?”, it sort of changes how you look at stocking your closet. It makes me more considerate (even if just slightly) of durability, and whether or not the design and fit of some random shirt transcends trend cycles. Now, sometimes you just need a belt to get you through Fall, but most of the time it’s really valuable to think beyond the next sale, IG ad, or impulse buy.

That’s why I’ve come to really love and appreciate what TS is doing. They’ve always been uniquely, intentionally antiquated in how they create clothes — and thus, sort of revolutionary. For years they had a program where you could pre-order clothes they were currently developing at a major discount, so they could crowd fund new projects without creating waste (and passing savings onto the buyer at the same time).

Now, they’ve developed a tight range of silhouettes across tops, bottoms, outerwear, and footwear that they develop in seasonally appropriate fabrics year ’round. It’s sort of my favorite way for a brand to create clothing, because once you know how one of their shirts fits, you know you can grab the same one in a lighter fabric when it comes out in the Spring, or in a flannel for fall. Most of their pieces have a very classic fit (ie, not boxy, cropped, or oversized), and truly look good on just about anyone.

Taylor Stitch was kind enough to send me a few pieces, so I wanted to share my favorite picks from their Spring and Summer collection! I can’t recommend Taylor Stitch enough for their quality, fit, and the unique textures and dyes they choose to use — at this price point, it’s nearly impossible to find anything better!

*For sizing, I am 5’10”, 175lbs and wear a Medium in all of their tops and 32 in all of their bottoms. They have a really solid size guide, so be sure to reference that if you’re still unsure!
