The verdict
Fit
Surplus stock often from prior seasons; fit may vary. Check return policies carefully since limited selection can mean poor exchanges.
Quality
Organic cotton sateen offers a smoother hand than twill; durability similar to full-price Taylor Stitch, though surplus may include closeout items.
Is the price fair?
At 76.80 USD, this is a bargain if you get the right cut. Price reflects clearance, not inferior construction.
Best for
Budget-conscious buyers willing to hunt for size/color fit in a surplus pile and happy with past-season styling.
Care
Wash cold; air dry to preserve the sateen finish.
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 pants
Owners describe Taylor Stitch pants as heavy, sturdily built cotton; one reviewer who tried several models writes that "the construction and quality of every piece is phenomenal" and that the pants handle rough jobs like moving and chopping wood. A two-year owner of the brand's bestselling lounge-leaning pant reports the workwear fabric starts out rough, then softens and fades with wear — but warns some colorways bleed dye when new. The most repeated practical complaint is length: every pant ships with a long inseam, so owners plan on hemming or double-cuffing, and reviewers note the cotton wrinkles heavily in the wash.
- Strengths
- Thick, hardwearing cotton fabrics and construction that owners report standing up to years of use while softening and fading attractively.
- Watch out for
- Long inseams that force hemming, fabric that feels rough and can bleed dye when new, and heavy wrinkling out of the wash.
- Sizing
- Reviewers say all pants run long — one measured roughly a 35–36 inch inseam on a size 34 — so shorter owners should budget for a hem or a double cuff.
