The verdict
Fit
Moleskin drapes softly and relaxes with wear. Expect a straight-cut, unstructured silhouette appropriate for casual layering. True to size.
Quality
Organic cotton moleskin is a casual fabric; it wrinkles and softens readily. Durability is moderate; expect wear patterns after a season or two.
Is the price fair?
At $149 the organic moleskin and brand reputation deliver budget-to-mid-budget value. Fair price for casual outerwear.
Best for
Men seeking a soft, approachable casual layer for weekend wear or mild outdoor use.
Care
Moleskin pilles readily; wash inside-out in cold water and air-dry to minimize wear.
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.
