The Taylor Stitch x Stetson Collab Is the Partnership of Our Dreams

There are some collaborations that are very nearly too good to be true — a meeting of the minds between two brands that makes so much sense, and produces such stylish results, you wonder why it hadn’t happened before. Or perhaps, you wonder if you dreamed it. That’s high praise, but that’s the way we feel about the

Taylor Stitch x Stetson collaboration

, a recently launched menswear offering that blends a heritage hatmaker (that’d be Stetson) with a brand that embodies the spirit of the modern man (Taylor Stitch, naturally).

The two have come together on a capsule collection rollout this winter that’s available for pre-funding right now exclusive via Taylor Stitch. Run, don’t walk, to pick up your new favorite menswear for 2020 (and well beyond). The offering encompasses beautiful denim, a standout pair of moto boots, updated takes on the classic Western shirt, and, of course, the coolest hats around, with prices ranging from $125 to $348.

The Taylor Stitch team feels the capsule collection plays off what both brands do best, Taylor Stitch Co-Founder and CEO Michael Maher said.

“All in all, the Taylor Stitch x Stetson collaboration allows us to leverage each other’s customer networks to introduce both brands to new audience members,” he elaborated. “By launching exciting products through our innovative Workshop model, we’re able to welcome new customers while also limiting waste of valuable physical & financial resources.”

Going beyond the classic offerings at Stetson has yielded some standout results (we think). Witness the handsome, rugged Natural Corded Western Shirt or the Stetson Road Warrior Hat (a packable hat made to be worn on plenty of adventures). The end result is a collaboration to be savored, enjoyed, and worn on the open road. In fact, you could pair multiple pieces from the collaboration together in one ensemble, from your Stetson hat right on down to the rugged, simply beautiful moto boots that the two brands produced.

The only drawback? You’ll have to wait until March, when collaboration product begins shipping out, to get started on making your own memories in Taylor Stitch x Stetson. Of course, good things come to those who wait.

COMME des GARÇONS x Blundstone is the collab you’ve been waiting for
COMME des GARÇONS HOMME, Blundstone release new shoe

Not every day do you see a high fashion powerhouse partner with a practical and well-known household brand. However, not one to follow the crowd, COMME des GARÇONS HOMME and Blundstone have joined forces to create a new design that’s surprisingly timeless and comfortable. While many high fashion brands tend to be bold and statement, the following collaborative design is an ideal shoe for daily use. By meshing sleekness and comfort, the new release is a valuable investment for those looking to refine their everyday. With zero fuss, the new COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x Blundstone shoe is a universal option that elevates any wardrobe or occasion. 
Meet the #2381 All-Terrain Clog

Resembling a traditional clog, the #2381 All-Terrain Clog is an easy slip-on shoe that boasts luxury and practical features. Crafted with a striped footbed and waterproof leather uppers, the shoe's overall design mimics those typically worn by chefs in high-impact kitchens. A Vibram sole adds durability and comfort to the shoes, ensuring your feet remain safe and protected in or out of the kitchen. With a subtle embossed logo on the uppers, this clog is shockingly simple in design, making it stand out even more against COMME des GARÇONS HOMME’s regular offerings. Fans of the chef-inspired clogs looking to grab a pair can find them at selected retailers such as COMME des GARÇONS’s NYC store and Dover Street Market. With only 500 pieces available, there’s no doubt this clog will sell out soon. Although its chef clog appearance may deter some, the simpleness and durability of the clog make for the perfect everyday slipper that will withstand any daily routine.

CNCPTS x Burton celebrates three decades with ‘Rabbit Hole’
Skate or Snow, this is a collaboration 29 years old

Whether you are a fan of skating or snowboarding, you are likely familiar with CNCPTS apparel and Burton Boards. Both have been a mainstay in the industry for a long time and have been frequent collaborators. Now, 29 years after they first got together, they unite again for the CNCPTS x Burton Rabbit Hole collection. They are also bringing in Todd Bratrud, legendary illustrator and designer who created some of the most sought-after footwear collaborations of the early 2000s to make the collection unique and dig into the brand's heritage.

“We have skateboard culture to thank for CNCPTS relationship with Burton, so when we approached this project, we wanted to incorporate aspects of both into the product,” says CNCPTS Creative Director Deon Point. “We have the utmost respect for everything Todd has given to the world of skate. While the footwear iterations allowed us to get creative, there’s only so far you can take it with materials and execution. Todd’s artwork took the inspiration behind each project to new heights.”

Taylor Stitch proves that Made in America is still popular
International production may be popular but Made in America is selling out
Taylor Stitch Made in USA jacket

Many clothing brands make a decision at some point during the scale-up phase to ship manufacturing jobs overseas in an effort to increase their profits. That, in turn, increases the value of their stocks, and the growth just skyrockets from there. However, that means jobs go away and, in a lot of ways, means the quality suffers a little. That is why garments that are made in America just feel different. They feel stronger and more durable and let you take a feeling of pride in what you wear. That is why Taylor Stitch put together a collection of items Made in America that embody the spirit of home while making you look and feel great. But before you run over to the site and grab up all you can, you need to know one thing about the Taylor Stitch Made in America collection.
Items are flying off the shelves

The three most significant and most popular items in the collection are a collaboration with San Francisco legend Golden Bear Sportswear, the Golden Bear Snap Bomber, which balances vintage curb appeal with heirloom quality construction to earn its place as the go-to statement piece in your wardrobe. While it still has limited sizes available, the the Camp Pant in Rigid Indigo Sashiko and Mill Shirt Jacket in Rigid Indigo Sashiko are completely sold out. What does that tell us? Other than Taylor Stitch makes excellent quality homemade products, the people love them. We will keep our eye on those in hopes that they come back. Partly for you and partly because we want to get our hands on them as well.
