How do you know that you can trust a clothing dealer’s quality? One positive indication is its staying power. And partnering with a mill with 115 years of making shirts is a pretty good place to begin.

On Nov. 2, the online, personalized styling service Stitch Fix launched Mohnton Made, a sustainable and size-inclusive modern basic line developed with a textile maker who’s been around since the turn of the 20th century. Manufactured at the Stitch Fix-owned and operated Mohnton Mills Knitting facility, the Mohnton, Pa. mill has been operating since 1906. The brand was developed and constructed for comfy wear with sustainable materials. In-house designed t-shirts, cozy sweats, and knit separates serve as perfect fall foils, sliding between cold and warm days.

Stitch Fix applied user data via experienced pros to create the perfect fit and Mohnton’s veteran squad served as the perfect source to translate that vision. As a textile-driven community, most of the Mohnton Knitting Mills team have over 20 years of knitting and sewing experience. The sustainably produced clothing, made from upcycled cotton and recycled polyester, is available to everyone — size-inclusive offerings include women’s XS-3X and men’s XS-3XL.

“Combining the rich heritage of Mohnton Mills with Stitch Fix’s data-backed designs made for a really unique creation process that shines through in Mohnton Made,” Loretta Choy, Stitch Fix Women’s general manager said in a statement.

Owning Mohnton Mills also allowed Stitch Fix to support and commit to social responsibility in producing this new line. Natural materials color Mohnton Made threads with plant dyes applied to the t-shirt array. Stitch Fix partnered with Green Matters Natural Dye Company to collect rainwater that helped to hue Mohnton t-shirts with plant matter like madder root, myrobalan, and cutch tree.

“By combining their unparalleled techniques with more sustainable materials, we are able to offer our clients more thoughtfully made, high-quality essentials that everyone needs in their closet,” Choy said.

You can find Mohnton Made through Stitch Fix’s recently launched, poignantly personalized shopping platform, Stitch Fix Freestyle.

Justin Boots launches new cutter-toe Frontier Collection boots

Justin Boots unveil cowboy collection

As part of their continuing delivery of authentic Western style, Justin Boots has brought the cutter-toe style to their Frontier collection to add a contemporary touch. When it comes to typical cowboy boots, users usually find an array of styles from round to pointed-toe shapes. However, the cutter-toe option offers a hybrid of these two styles for more room that still feels Western. The cutter toe style was made for cowboys to have more toe space yet narrow enough to fit into stirrups, making it the ultimate comfort in a cowboy boot. In this collection, Western fans will find the cutter toe style and plenty of bold and unique designs that stay true to the cowboy spirit.
Introducing the Frontier collection

The latest Frontier collection additions include the cutter toe style with premium goat and rugged leather options. Equipped with the brand’s ProStep Plus comfort system, these designs are made with some of the best comfort and support available in a cowboy boot. Versatile enough to wear in rural and urban environments, the new cutter toe style gives users more styling options to use with their shoes. Including supported arch construction and cushioned insoles, the Frontier collection is made with durability and all-day usage in mind. The Frontier collection expands various colorways and designs, giving wearers more options in finding the right pair. A fusion between authentic Western flair and modern needs, the Frontier collection is an ideal starting place for those looking to infuse the current Western trend into their closet. Now available via Justin Boots’ website, the Frontier collection ranges from $200 to $225.

KESTIN supports Scottish manufacturing with “Made in Scottland” capsule

High quality Scottish manufacturing takes center stage

KESTIN Arran Knit

If you have never been to Scotland, you may make the mistake of thinking that everyone there is dressed like Mel Gibson in Braveheart. We didn't say we would forgive you for that mistake, but it is made. In truth, Scotland can be thanked for a lot of men's styles that we enjoy today. Our love of plaid is in large part thanks to its origins in Scotland. While we may not wear it as a symbol of our family's heritage in America, we can thank the history of the country's use of it as a sartorial family tree for its presence in our closets. One company is keeping Scottish manufacturing alive with their fall 2024 collection. KESTIN "Made in Scotland" lets the brilliance of Scottish manufacturing take center stage.
Scottish highlights

Now, to get a real picture of Scottish style in your head (purge Mel Gibson from your brain), look to KESTIN's dedication to textures and fabrics that are designed to withstand the Scottish Highlands. There are some standout pieces from the collection that you need for your wardrobe simply to allow yourself the privilege of experiencing the brilliance of Scottish manufacturing. Set against the backdrop of the Island of Arran, where many Scottish neolithic structures call home, the collection gives you the Brushed Shetland Crew Neck and the Lewis Brushed Shetland Polo. The second installment includes the Fairisle Vest, Aran Cable Knit, and the Harris Mock Neck. Of course, these pieces are stylish and warm, but the calling card is the near-perfect quality of a garment made in Scotland and designed to last a lifetime.

Halloween is in the past; we have made it through the election, and now only Thanksgiving stands between us and the impending cold as winter approaches. Of course, you could fall into a few different camps: the ones excited about winter, the ones dreading winter, or the ones who don't care either way. If you are in the first or the third camp, it likely means you have become accustomed to the cold and how to guard against it. If you are in any of the camps, you may want to guard against it with a new collection from one of our favorite brands. The Taylor Stitch Treadwell Collection is the latest winter line guaranteed to keep you warm and happy all season long as we count the days until spring.
Tough enough for the harshest environments

The Treadwell Collection draws inspiration from the functional and thought-out gear of the explorers of our past to create new and innovative pieces that can withstand anything your life throws at them. It has been field-tested against the snow-swept shores of Douglas Island, AK, and claims to be ready for the world's wild and untamed environments. Of course, it isn't just for far-off adventures; with 25 pieces ranging from outerwear and layering pieces to pants and accessories, the Treadwell Collection is perfect for your day-to-day in the colder months. Some of the collection's standouts are The Fisherman's Sweater in Dark Navy Merino, The Ranger Shirt in Tarnished Copper with Blanket Stripe, and The High Plains Coat in Walnut Shearling.
