This New Line Is the Most Stylish Way to Stay Stink-Free on Your Ride to Work
A couple of weeks back, we clued y’all in about a new commuter bicycle that our pals at Taylor Stitch recently built. It’s a pretty sweet ride. But you know what? Turns out we may have buried the lede here: since that article was published, we’ve been hands-on with Taylor Stitch’s new CIVIC collection — the bike’s accompanying range of cycle-ready clothes — and hot damn, is it ever awesome.
What’s so great about it? The line was engineered to be the absolute perfect gear for urban commuters: this stuff is softer than Drake and as effortlessly stylish as Hemingway, all while keeping you completely dry and stink-free from head-to-toe, door-to-door.
The key ingredient in all of these pieces is merino wool, which has long been touted for its insulation, comfort and moisture-wicking ability. For CIVIC, Taylor Stitch spent months developing three special merino-based fabrics built to perform at the highest levels and stand up to just about any stench you throw its way.
The two pieces we’re most stoked on right now? The Mercerized Merino Tee, which fits like a dream and feels like five-star hotel sheets against your skin, and the Commuter Chinos, which pairs a tailored silhouette and stain-resistant fabric with killer details like reflective outseams to keep you visible and hidden zip pockets so your phone and wallet don’t go flying onto the pavement.
So, yeah, we may have messed up by not alerting you to all this rad-looking, super functional stuff in the first place. But we’re letting you know now with plenty of time: pre-order some in the next few days, and Taylor Stitch will flip you a pretty significant discount. Ride on, playas.
