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.

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.

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.
