Gentlemen, let’s talk about the perennial quest for the perfect summer shirt. It’s a noble pursuit, often ending in disappointment with ill-fitting fabrics or designs that feel less “effortless cool” and more “dad on vacation.” But fear not, because Taylor Stitch has just parachuted in with a solution that’s as sharp as it is low-maintenance: the Surplus Short Sleeve Shirt. Taking its design cues from vintage ’70s military shirts, this isn’t just another button-up; it’s a stylish campaign to elevate your warm-weather wardrobe.

Crafted from a breezy, 100% cotton reverse sateen, this shirt is pre-washed to feel like a beloved favourite from the very first wear. No more stiff, cardboard-like feeling here. Its tailored fit and high armholes ensure a flattering silhouette that won’t have you looking like you’re wearing a tent, while the perfect length means you can wear it tucked or untucked without a second thought. For a little added functionality, it comes equipped with two button-secured chest pockets—perfect for stashing your wallet, keys, or a carefully folded map to the nearest pub. Best of all, thanks to a pleatless design, ironing is a breeze. Double-needle felled construction guarantees this handsome devil will be a stalwart in your rotation for years to come. At a price of $138, it’s a small price to pay for a shirt that’s ready for any mission, whether it’s a backyard BBQ or a casual Friday.
