What to know about Taylor Stitch
Taylor Stitch is a San Francisco menswear label founded in 2008 by Michael Maher, Barrett Purdum and Mike Armenta, and it began as a custom shirtmaker run out of an apartment on Taylor Street. It now sells workwear-leaning basics — Democratic Jeans in organic ISKO denim, the Long Haul and Ojai jackets, chore coats, flannels and knits — largely direct-to-consumer. New styles launch through its Workshop pre-order program to limit overproduction, and fabrics skew organic cotton, hemp, wool and recycled fibers. A Restitch channel resells returned and worn garments.

How Taylor Stitch fits
Overall fit
slightly small
Taylor Stitch uses numeric chest sizing and generally fits close to the body with a trim, tucked-in-shirt silhouette, so a fair number of shoppers report needing one size up versus their usual S/M/L equivalent.
Tip: Most guys land on their true numeric chest size, but if you're between sizes, broad-shouldered, or plan to layer, size up one.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | true to size | regular, slightly trim rather than oversized | Stick with your usual size unless you want a roomy, layered look. |
| Jackets | slightly small | clean, close-to-body chore and field cuts with limited layering room | Size up one if you plan to wear a flannel or knit underneath the Long Haul or Ojai. |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | the Democratic fit is roomy through seat and thigh then tapers below the knee; slimmer fits are noticeably closer | Order your measured waist — the raw denim relaxes about a half size after a few wears, so avoid sizing up. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly small | tapered through the waist with a defined chest — a shirtmaker's slim cut | Take your true chest measurement and go up a size if you're between numbers or want to layer a tee underneath. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | slim to regular, close through chest and sleeve | Size up if you want any drape or a relaxed shoulder — the hemp/cotton tees are cut narrow and can shrink slightly. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | regular with a mild taper, workwear-leaning | Go with your measured waist; the cotton and hemp blends soften and give a little with wear. |
