Many brands excel in certain aspects – such as using quality fabrics, creating trendy pieces, and reinventing classics. However, we, at the Coolector, believe in getting everything right. We take pride in directing our readers towards sustainable and ethically made alternatives whenever possible. Atelier & Repairs is one such brand that stands out. They source deadstock fabrics and repurpose them, ensuring minimal wastage in the process.
Not long ago, the team at Taylor Stitch found themselves with surplus units of some of their key pieces: The Jack in Everyday Oxford and The Chino. Instead of viewing this as a problem, they saw it as an opportunity. While other brands might dispose of excess inventory by burning or dumping it, Taylor Stitch took a different approach. They collaborated with Atelier & Repairs to create something new out of these surplus pieces. Thus, the Taylor Stitch x Atelier & Repairs Collection was born. Here are some standout pieces from the collection:
The Atelier & Repairs Chino | IN NAVY, BRITISH KHAKI, AND OLIVE ($220)
The Atelier & Repairs Chino combines a nautical look with a rugged vibe. Made from 9-oz. 98% organic cotton and 2% spandex, it offers breathability while the fabric is brushed for a soft feel. The vibrant patches add a touch of boldness, and the vintage wash gives it a worn-in appearance. This limited edition of The Chino has been reimagined in collaboration with Atelier & Repairs, using archival fabrics and softening wash techniques for that vintage charm.
Paired with sturdy chukkas, these chinos give off an eco-conscious Indiana Jones vibe. ($220)
The Atelier & Repairs Jack | IN WASHED WHITE & WASHED BLUE OXFORD ($195)
The Atelier & Repairs Jack is crafted from 6-oz of 100% organic cotton and features Taylor Stitch’s classic Jack button-down collar with a single rounded chest pocket. Pre-washed for a lived-in look, this shirt doesn’t compromise on quality. Made from a durable rugby oxford fabric with meticulous construction, it features lock-stitched natural buttons for that extra touch of craftsmanship. With a shorter length, this shirt is all about comfort and style – perfect for everyday wear.
Soft and sturdy, this shirt is versatile and resilient for year-round wear. Taylor Stitch’s organic cotton is pesticide-free, making it a sustainable choice. A shirt that is not only stylish but also responsibly made for longevity. ($195)
