It seems more and more that clothing isn’t made the way it once was, at least among a large swath of the menswear world. Companies like Taylor Stitch are changing that emphasis and drawing on the best parts of the old and the new, however — and thankfully so.
The brand’s newly released Whiskey Leather Moto Jacket, part of its broader Moto Collection, is an absurdly beautiful café-style jacket based on an old piece owned by the product designer’s father.
The new edition takes the best qualities of the heirloom item — soft, supple leather, rugged styling details, and a great fit — and brings the design into the 21st century.
Made in partnership with Golden Bear, insulated diamond quilting and full-grain steer hide ensure this piece will look as great layered over a shirt and tie or henley this fall as it will 40 years from now. Get it now at a lower pre-funded rate, and you’ll be happy you sprang for it early. Sells for US$1,075.
