The verdict
Fit
Merino herringbone tends to have light body and drape; expect true-to-size fit with modern ease. Herringbone texture may show wear faster than smooth knits.
Quality
Merino in herringbone weave is durable but less robust than cable or fisherman constructions. Taylor Stitch's baseline quality holds, though herringbone is lighter-weight.
Is the price fair?
At $99, this is excellent value for merino—you're not paying for premium finishing, just honest material at fair price.
Best for
Budget-conscious shoppers seeking merino; those who wear cardigans frequently and can replace seasonally.
Care
Gentle wash in cool water; lay flat to dry. Herringbone weave can snag, so store carefully.
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 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.
