Popular San Francisco menswear company Taylor Stitch has chosen Seattle for its first retail store outside of its hometown. The store will open at 315 E. Pine St. in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood this spring.
“We’ve chosen to focus our retail growth on markets that embody the Taylor Stitch ethos,” says Luke McAlpine, the company’s general manager and head of brand. “We look forward to showing the city all that we stand for.”
The new store is the company’s first in 10 years and only its third retail outlet.
The company is known for its sustainable and responsibly made clothing that resonates with eco-conscious consumers. According to the website honestbrandreviews.com, Taylor Stitch’s manufacturing process uses significantly less water and a smaller carbon footprint. It is also made with recycled and regenerative fiber without the need for chemicals and pesticides. A significant portion of its clothing is made in the United States.
Seattle is home to numerous eco-conscious apparel companies, including Prairie Underground in Georgetown, Conscious Wear in Pike Place Market and Marine Layer in the U District and Capitol Hill.
