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.

The most sophisticated smoking jacket options: Our top picks
Upgrade your wardrobe with a gentlemanly, classic smoking jacket

When you're at work, there are all kinds of specific dress codes. You may have to wear a suit every day. You may be forced to delve into the always confusing business casual look. But when you are at home, there's no dress code. You can wear whatever you want. Some of us are keen to wear sweatpants and hoodies. The same T-shirt and jeans we wear to mow the lawn are the choice of others. But for us who prefer to sit in our elegance, we look to something more elevated. We look to the smoking jacket. 

While languid sessions of pipe smoking may have fallen out of fashion, there's no reason why you shouldn't invest in a smoking jacket all your own. Sure, it might not be the most practical investment, but there's no denying it's an incredibly luxurious menswear essential. Plus, it can be an excellent addition to your arsenal of men's travel clothes or work-from-home jackets, which can make for a perfect conversation starter at your next party — virtual or not.

Amidst his struggles, Louis endeavors to pawn his exquisite timepiece in a Philadelphia shop, only to face an incredulous owner who deems the watch stolen, offering a mere fifty dollars. He passionately articulates the essence of his wristwatch during the negotiation, naming off several cities of which the fictional watch can give you the time.
