Repair Or Replace Guarantee

Repairs

If one of your Taylor Stitch product(s) needs a repair, please let us know at hello@taylorstitch.com. In your email, include your name, order number, and the reason for repair. Final and most important step: attach at least one image of the affected area so that we can determine the best course of treatment. Upon receiving your repair request, we’ll provide you with a lead time for the repair.

Please note, all repair items need to be laundered and clean before you send them to us for a repair. Taylor Stitch reserves the right to charge a cleaning fee if required or return unclean items.

Replacements

If your Taylor Stitch product is unable to be repaired, we will gladly replace the garment if still in stock. Otherwise we can offer store credit or a return for the item during the life of the product.

Our Guarantee

We are dedicated to making clothing that is Responsibly Built For The Long Haul. To that end, we repair or replace any defect outside of normal wear and care for the life of the product.

Shipping

Free Domestic Shipping

All domestic U.S. orders for in-stock items are shipped free of charge.

Please allow up to two business days to fulfill and issue your tracking number (unless there is a red delayed date posted in the product description). Once you receive your tracking number, you should expect to receive your order within 2–5 business days.

Please note that while we will issue you a tracking number once we have fulfilled your order, you may not be able to track your package immediately. Tracking information will not appear until your package is scanned by the shipping carrier.

Orders placed for Workshop items require a shipping fee of $6. Workshop orders will ship during the estimated shipping period noted on the product page.

International Shipping

We ship anywhere outside the domestic U.S. with DHL Express Worldwide. DHL calculates shipping rates based on weight and destination. Rates are exclusive of taxes, duties, and customs fees. DHL also requires that the recipient is responsible for customs duties and taxes. We are not able to determine import taxes, as they depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, country of shipping destination and product price.

We cannot guarantee delivery time as it depends on customs processing. All international packages are trackable once they are scanned by the shipping carrier.

Returns

To start the process, click the button in your Shipping or Delivery confirmation email or navigate here: https://returns.taylorstitch.com. You can return an item for a full refund or store credit within 21 days of the delivery date. More on that in our FAQs here. There are some exceptions.

We get that some items require a few try-ons—raw denim especially. We want you to be confident and comfortable wearing any Taylor Stitch garment, so please, make sure it’s the right fit. Just keep in mind that anything you return needs to be in re-sellable condition (new, with tags, unworn, unwashed, unaltered). If something funny happens with an item, please reach out to us. We’ll make it right.

Last Call items cannot be accepted for a return.

Return shipping is free within the continental U.S. If you’re returning from overseas, we ask that you cover the return shipping cost.

We took our vintage-inspired chinos and lopped off the legs—what’s left may just be our favorite set of shorts to date. The Foundation Short is cast in a substantial organic cotton twill that’s been given a thorough garment wash for lived-in softness. Two slash front pockets, a low-profile coin pocket, and unbeatable YKK hardware finish out the package. When it comes to the perfect summer wardrobe, it pays to build on solid ground.

The tight weave and mercerized yarns of this organic cotton twill results in a smooth hand feel and improved durability, while a garment dye and wash ensures a broken-in feel from the very first wear. And as you put The Foundation Short through the wringer (we recommend wearing them hard and often) they’ll develop some beautiful patina, adding a touch of personal nuance to your laid back summer fit.

  • 8-oz. 100% organic cotton twill.
  • 5.5-oz. 100% organic cotton herringbone pocketing.
  • Garment dyed and washed for a soft, lived-in feel.
  • Front slash pockets for easy entry.
  • Low profile welt coin pocket inset into waistband.
  • Two back welt pockets. Right pocket features button closure.
  • YKK zipper fly with 4 hole vintage military style button closure.
  • Bound fly and outseam.
  • Wash cold and tumble dry low.
  • Made in China.

This garment is made with Organic Cotton

Who doesn’t love cotton? It’s soft, versatile, and low-maintenance. Unfortunately, the conventionally grown stuff is absurdly wasteful and often relies on harmful chemicals. That’s why this product is built with organic cotton—all of the benefits, none of the BS.
