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.
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 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.
