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.
