Taylor Stitch have teamed up with the guys at Belcampo, one of California’s finest meat purveyors, to deliver a new collection that is inspired by the ranch life and was decided upon after the guys at Taylor Stitch headed to Belcampo’s 20,000 acre ranch at the base of Mt. Shasta and saw first hand the need for resilient durable, yet stylish, clothing that would withstand the rigours of working on a ranch.

Jolly Rancher

The Siskiyou Collection from Taylor Stitch was heavily influenced by the four days that the brand spent on the ranch herding cattle, checking the weights of the heritage turkeys, enjoying the delights of slow cooking over an open flame, and trying to soak in as much knowledge as we could about running a ranch the old fashioned way as they could. All that they learnt on this trip went into the design and crafting of the Siskiyou Collection of apparel and you can see the main pieces from this range below:

Tan Plaid Glacier Shirt

No respecting rancher would be seen without a plaid shirt in their wardrobe and they simply don’t come any better than the Glacier Shirt, which forms one of the cornerstones of the Taylor Stitch Siskiyou Collection. This excellent piece of apparel is perfect fare for winding down after a hard day of ranch work as it a hearty piece, wonderfully comfortable with just the right amount of ruggedness. Crafted from 8-oz. 100% cotton, custom milled Portuguese plaid and boasting a tailored fit with the brand’s signature California collar, the Glacier Shirt will be ideal after working hard all day but, truth be told, would look just as good in your favourite bar.
