Terry's Staff Picks: What To Wear This Summer
Terry manages the warehouse at Tate + Yoko. Whether it's prepping orders, restocking shelves, or answering your emails, if you've ever ordered anything from us, Terry likely played a part in getting that special item delivered to you. An avid outdoorsman, his style reflects the seasons, focusing on practical and durable wardrobe choices suited for any situation. With a penchant for words, he always delivers rousing tales about the products we make and the stories behind them on “This Week at Tate + Yoko.”
The Circular Knit Tee has been a top seller at Tate + Yoko for many years, and for good reason. Made in Canada using ring-spun cotton, they come in five colors, are affordable, and most importantly, they are made to last! Whether enduring the rigors of the warehouse or the great outdoors, these tees hold up wash after wash and wear after wear. A great long-lasting basic, their affordable price means you can own a bunch without breaking the bank.
The Easy Shirt has been a key staple in Terry’s summer wardrobe, especially in the Kimono prints. The patterns are easy to wear, and the blue tones pair perfectly with your favorite raw denim jeans. Plus, the fabric is an ideal weight for summer—not too heavy and not too light. On warmer days, you can roll up the sleeves to show off the contrasting interior, and on cooler nights (or when the AC gets too cold), it's heavy enough to keep you comfortable.
An essential part of Terry’s everyday carry is the Natural Veg Tan Card Case, which replaced his bulky wallet. The simple design allows you to carry multiple cards and cash. For raw denim lovers, it's a perfect match—just like denim, natural vegetable-tanned leather patinas and gets better the longer you use it.
Well before Terry joined our team, he was already a fan of the Natural Veg Tanned Thick Belt. These belts are among the thickest around, measuring 5-7mm. This piece of leather opened Terry’s eyes to the patina possibilities of vegetable-tanned leather, and he hasn’t looked back since. His belt has been worn for years without fail, serving him reliably no matter the weather or activity. Plus, it pairs perfectly with the Card Holder.
Though Montreal is cold most of the year, Montrealers make the most of the summer sun. As an avid cyclist, Terry needs jeans that are comfortable for riding and help beat the heat. Enter denim shorts. At Tate + Yoko, we can turn any pair of jeans into shorts—just request your desired inseam at checkout. The 11oz Stretch Selvedge, with its lightweight material and slight stretch, makes for the perfect summer shorts, balancing comfort in the summer sun with an active lifestyle. Available in a wide range of fits, there's something for everyone.
