The verdict
Fit
Terry hoodies typically cut casual and forgiving. Size true for a relaxed fit; expect moderate drape.
Quality
Taylor Stitch's terry basics are reliable—good seam finishing and consistent shrinkage control. Won't feel premium but will outlast typical mall brand fare.
Is the price fair?
At $83, this is below Taylor Stitch's normal retail ($110–130). A fair deal for construction quality at the budget-hoodie tier.
Best for
The shopper who wants a plain layering piece from a reputable domestic maker, not statement wear.
Care
Hot wash and machine dry; expect slight shrinkage on first wash despite the 'preshrunk' language typical of the brand.
Fit check: Taylor Stitch
True to sizeOwners and reviewers agree Taylor Stitch runs true to size, but the cuts are slim and every pant ships with a long (34"+) inseam.
Reviewers who tested multiple pieces report the brand fits true to its own size chart — one who sized down against the chart got a jacket that was uncomfortably snug and now advises trusting the listed size. Because shirts and knits cut slim, the recurring advice is to take the larger size if you fall between two. On bottoms, waists run true but reviewers consistently flag long inseams — one measured roughly 35-36 inches on a size 34 — so shorter wearers should plan to cuff or hem. A minority of owners report item-level inconsistency, notably on tees, where one buyer had to go from a 40 medium to a 42 large.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size (chest size for shirts), size up only if between sizes since cuts run slim, and budget for hemming pants — inseams start at 34 inches.

What owners report about Taylor Stitch hoodies
Third-party coverage of Taylor Stitch's hoodie range comes mainly from enthusiast-blog reviews of the Après line, and it is broadly positive. Reviewers describe a dense 12-oz cotton-spandex knit on the flagship version, with a hemp and organic-cotton blend on other colorways, plus hardware details like brass zippers and leather pulls that make the hoodies read dressier than a standard sweatshirt. The same coverage is clear these are not performance pieces: one owner notes the cotton fabric won't dry fast, repel water, or resist odors. Long-term durability reporting is thin — most write-ups are short-term impressions rather than months-in reviews.
- Strengths
- Reviewers praise the substantial fabrics and hardware details — brass zippers, leather pulls, reinforced pockets — that make these hoodies look sharper than a typical sweatshirt.
- Watch out for
- The cut runs trim and the cotton fabric has no performance properties (one owner notes it won't dry fast, repel water, or resist odors), and there is little third-party reporting on how the fleece holds up over years of wear.
- Sizing
- The cut runs trim; one owner reviewing his usual size suggested sizing up a full size for a more relaxed look.
