The verdict
Fit
French terry is a knit, not woven, so expect a softer, slightly more elastic fit than traditional jackets. Runs true; the stripe pattern sits on the bias.
Quality
Terry is a casual, lower-durability fabric intended for frequent washing. Typical of affordable casual wear; don't expect years of heavy use.
Is the price fair?
At $137 on clearance, the organic cotton terry and unlined construction feel appropriate for budget-tier outerwear. A bargain for the price but lower durability expectations.
Best for
Men needing an affordable, washable layer for weekend wear or gym transitions.
Care
French terry softens and can pill after washing; use a delicate cycle and avoid high heat drying.
What owners report about Taylor Stitch jackets & outerwear
Reviewers who wore Taylor Stitch jackets hard report they hold up: one wore the waxed-canvas version while moving heavy patio stones and through a downpour and said it survived the friction and kept him surprisingly dry. The organic-cotton chore coats draw praise for detail work — ring-back buttons, functional cuff buttons, a pen slot in the chest pocket — with an 8-oz twill that reviewers describe as heavier than shirting but light enough for three-season wear. Complaints are modest: the waxed fabric arrives stiff, the chore-coat cut reads boxy, cuff hardware can scratch a watch, and the jackets are made in China at a price point where one reviewer would only buy on sale.
- Strengths
- Reviewers report the fabric survives genuinely hard use and the button and pocket detailing is better executed than typical work-jacket fare.
- Watch out for
- Waxed versions are stiff out of the box and need breaking in, chore coats run boxy and shapeless, and more than one reviewer suggests waiting for a sale rather than paying full price.
- Sizing
- Reviewers report the jackets fit true to Taylor Stitch's own size guide — one who sized down against the guide got a jacket "so snug that it wears more like a shirt," so follow the chart rather than second-guessing it.
