The adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" sometimes doesn't apply to menswear classics. Or rather, it can be turned on its head every now and again, especially if it's one of the best online menswear brands -- that'd be Taylor Stitch -- doing the updating of a tried-and-true favorite. In this case, that favorite is the classic Oxford shirt, and the Taylor Stitch Jack Oxford Shirt is a signature attempt at revamping a timeless style.
Editor's note: Thank you to Taylor Stitch for providing a new Taylor Stitch Jack Oxford Shirt for the purposes of this review. All opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting brands that support The Style Guide!
Taylor Stitch, after all, set out to make one of the best men's shirts on the market well over a decade ago, refining its first shirts in a garage before gradually ramping up production and becoming a true, do-it-all menswear brand.
And the great news? They've still hit the mark in terms of making some of the best men's shirts even as the brand has grown, using high-quality materials (in this case, a just-right, 6.5oz. organic cotton) and premium touches like tailored, nicely fitting chest sizing.
In my experience, the rich Indigo color shown here -- my selection for this men's shirting review, if you happen to follow me on Instagram -- is a knockout, with a deep blue color and a soft, garment-washed fabric for plenty of comfort.
In my experience, Taylor Stitch men's shirts simply hit the mark, no matter what you're asking of them. I've worn my Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt in Indigo Oxford with dark brown chinos, with contrasting black selvedge denim and with grey jeans -- tucked in beneath a cotton blazer or untucked for casually cool style. I've found that the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt fits supremely well, with a length that hits just right tucked in or even untucked.
Quality craftsmanship, including reinforced buttons and soft-yet-durable fabrics, also help make this stylish Oxford shirt a daily workhorse in my wardrobe. And that's the other thing: My Taylor Stitch review found that the Jack Shirt's variety and versatility is nearly unmatched.
It comes in a range of colors and fabrications based on the season, this year's offering included. You'd do very well indeed to pick up what could quickly become your new favorite shirt -- take it from me, because in this instance, Taylor Stitch did a stellar job of updating a classic.
