Taylor Stitch Upland Jacket: A Heritage Classic for the Modern Explorer

Here at The Coolector, we’re all about versatile outerwear that strikes that perfect balance between timeless style and rugged functionality—and the Taylor Stitch Upland Jacket ($218) does just that. This isn’t just any run-of-the-mill jacket; it’s a well-thought-out take on the classic barn coat, boasting a function-first design that’s ready to roll for three seasons of the year. Crafted from Taylor Stitch’s character-filled Chipped Canvas, this piece is destined to age gracefully and earn a special place in your wardrobe.

The Upland Jacket is built from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, giving you durability without compromise. Taylor Stitch has always been keen on sustainability, and the Upland is no exception. Loomed into a sturdy, thick plain weave, the 12.5-oz. canvas goes through a two-step dye process that leaves it looking perfectly worn-in from the start. A darker pigment is layered over a base dye to deliver that coveted, broken-in vibe—a characteristic that’ll keep getting better with every adventure, scuff, and scrape.

It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t demand pampering; instead, it wants to be out in the field, to get its elbows dirty, to collect stories. The double lower hand pockets—one with a flap and button closure for added security—make it as practical as it is stylish. Plus, the 8.5-oz. organic cotton corduroy detailing is a subtle but effective nod to old-school workwear, elevating the aesthetic appeal while maintaining the jacket’s functionality.

Taylor Stitch has designed the Upland Jacket to be unlined, making it a lightweight choice that’s easy to layer in chillier months. The stonewashed finish lends the fabric a texture and softness that makes it feel like an old favorite from the very first wear. The two-piece sleeve design and double-needle felled construction are thoughtful touches that underscore Taylor Stitch’s dedication to craftsmanship and longevity.

Part of a limited small-batch run, the Upland Jacket is one of those pieces that might not stick around for long. Whether you’re tackling chores on a crisp autumn morning or just want to add some heritage charm to your day-to-day look, the Taylor Stitch Upland Jacket is the kind of investment that rewards you with style, function, and story-telling patina season after season.
