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.

Does Taylor Stitch run big or small?

Taylor Stitch fits slightly small. Most guys land on their true numeric chest size, but if you're between sizes, broad-shouldered, or plan to layer, size up one. 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.
