It was only a matter of time before someone found the sweet spot between high fashion and street wear. Tabor by Compound is made with an emphasis on fashion and high quality materials in Portland’s very own Mount Tabor neighborhood, and pulls much of its conceptual work from the influence of local bike and street culture. Neutral colors with hints of vibrancy turn classic designs into contemporary style, cut and sewn in Portland from the highest quality materials to ensure that every article of clothing is as functional as it is stylish.

Portland is known for a prevalence of bicyclists, and their own forms of culture and style have flourished in a city that’s hungry to continue to define a unique look. Drawing from their influence, Tabor’s jogger pants combine style with functionality. The ankles are built with specially selected four-way stretch cuffs to keep your pants out of your gears, and to ensure they never lose their elasticity. Reflective spots of patterned 3M material highlight the pockets for visibility when it gets dark out, and the pants are available in lightweight seven ounce twill in both black and khaki makeups.

Featuring a split-paneled design and bold colors, the constructed long sleeve top has an extended length that doesn’t feel too long, but sits just right thanks to the soft, draping cotton. Little details like the athletic detailing on the neckline and tonal City of Roses graphic ensure you of the quality of the clothing while reminding you where it was made.constructed long sleeve black blue

Even as the weather gets better and spring starts to become summer, it isn’t always sunny and bright out. The City of Roses coaches’ jacket remains true to the fresh streetwear style of Tabor while still providing protection from the elements, which is important on those less-than-perfect spring nights. Sharp details such as the reflective detailing on the pockets and drawstring, as well as the City of Roses graphic, are a welcome update to this classic cut jacket.coaches jacket rose on red

The Tabor by Compound line can be purchased at Compound Gallery in downtown Portland, or on the Tabor By Compound website.

Taylor Stitch proves that Made in America is still popular
International production may be popular but Made in America is selling out
Taylor Stitch Made in USA jacket

Many clothing brands make a decision at some point during the scale-up phase to ship manufacturing jobs overseas in an effort to increase their profits. That, in turn, increases the value of their stocks, and the growth just skyrockets from there. However, that means jobs go away and, in a lot of ways, means the quality suffers a little. That is why garments that are made in America just feel different. They feel stronger and more durable and let you take a feeling of pride in what you wear. That is why Taylor Stitch put together a collection of items Made in America that embody the spirit of home while making you look and feel great. But before you run over to the site and grab up all you can, you need to know one thing about the Taylor Stitch Made in America collection.
Items are flying off the shelves

The three most significant and most popular items in the collection are a collaboration with San Francisco legend Golden Bear Sportswear, the Golden Bear Snap Bomber, which balances vintage curb appeal with heirloom quality construction to earn its place as the go-to statement piece in your wardrobe. While it still has limited sizes available, the the Camp Pant in Rigid Indigo Sashiko and Mill Shirt Jacket in Rigid Indigo Sashiko are completely sold out. What does that tell us? Other than Taylor Stitch makes excellent quality homemade products, the people love them. We will keep our eye on those in hopes that they come back. Partly for you and partly because we want to get our hands on them as well.

Banana Republic taps The White Lotus star for SS25 campaign
Nicholas Duvernay is a model for the first time
Banana Republic

Banana Republic is a staple in accessible fashion. It isn't a brand that lives only on the runways where everyday people feel disconnected, and it is more elevated than the run-of-the-mill selections those men who care little for style and standards prefer. It carved a place for itself in the middle, accessible for all and loved by most. With their launch of the spring and summer line, they tapped the star of The White Lotus, Nicholas Duvernay, to model the new pieces, and even though he had never done it before, he looked like a natural.

"Banana Republic’s pieces are timeless, blending the brand’s heritage with modern styles," says Nicholas Duvernay. "The craftsmanship and quality fabrics make them as comfortable as they are elevated—perfect for a night in the city or a weekend getaway. Shooting this campaign was an incredible experience, celebrating style, quality, and the spirit of exploration that defines Banana Republic."
