Oh, to be loved.

There's just no two ways about it -- we love Taylor Stitch. The local design company and Mission boutique (formerly The Common), has built a small and very dapper empire on classic designs, quality craftsmanship and custom tailoring. 

In their latest collection, the local purveyor features every essential summer fabric:  seersucker (#3), linen (#6), madras (#2), and chambray (#7). We're also quite fond of their Derby Belt (#1), which celebrates San Francisco and Louisville -- run out and snag one in time for the Kentucky Derby (tomorrow!).
