The Down Sweater in Olive Waxed Ripstop

Sweaters

The verdict

A premium down sweater for $798; justified for US-made construction and hybrid performance.

Fit

Hybrid down/synthetic builds add structure and coverage. The Down Sweater is a mid-layer jacket with fitted sleeves. Expect a tailored fit; size true.

Quality

Waxed ripstop exterior with down fill is a premium insulation strategy. The US manufacturing and baffle construction ensure quality; durability is very high.

Price check

At $798 you are in premium-insulation territory. The US production and down-hybrid design justify the price for performance-oriented buyers.

Best for

Men doing sustained outdoor activity in cool climates who need reliable insulation and want US-made heritage craftsmanship.

Care

Down with waxed shell requires careful dry-cleaning only; store in breathable garment bags away from heat sources.

Fit check: Taylor Stitch

True to size

Owners 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 sweaters

Hands-on reviewers describe Taylor Stitch's sweater range as natural-fiber knits — merino wool and cashmere among them — with construction details singled out, such as moss-stitch bodies and reinforced elbows. Published coverage is consistently positive on build quality, with reviewers calling the pieces made to last. The near-universal caveat is cost: one write-up notes the Fisherman Sweater 'doesn't come cheap' at $238. Most coverage comes from menswear reviewers and editors rather than long-running owner threads, so multi-year durability reports on the knits are thin.

Strengths
Reviewers consistently praise the natural-fiber knits (merino, cashmere) and construction detailing, describing the range as made to last.
Watch out for
The recurring criticism is price — the Fisherman Sweater 'clocks in at $238' per one review — and independent long-term owner reports on the knits are scarce relative to editorial praise.
Sizing
Reviewers report Taylor Stitch runs true to size but cuts slim, and advise taking the larger size if between sizes.
