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 t-shirts

Third-party coverage of the tee range centers on fabric weight: reviewers describe the Heavy Bag tees as substantial, closer to heavy vintage t-shirts than modern lightweight basics, yet still breathable, knit from a blend of upcycled cotton and recycled polyester. Reviewers report the heavier knits soften with wear and hold up to frequent use and washing. On the negative side, customers report inconsistencies in sizing and measurement between pieces, and some longtime buyers question whether quality has held up since production moved to China in 2018 while prices stayed high.

Strengths: Heavier-than-average knit fabric that reviewers say feels substantial while staying soft and breathable, and improves with repeated wear.
Watch out for: Reported sizing and measurement inconsistencies between items, plus lingering customer complaints about quality after the 2018 production move to China at unchanged prices.
Sizing: The brand sizes shirts by jacket size (a size 40 jacket means a size 40 shirt), but customers report measurement inconsistencies, so check the size chart on each item.
