Indigo Garment Care Tips
Always Wash Separately
Indigo will bleed.
First Wash Tips
For first-time wash, soak in warm water with salt for 20 minutes to reduce bleeding and fix the indigo dye.
Daily Washing Guide
Wash in cold water using mild natural detergent (soy-based or wool-safe). Do not bleach or wring. Flat dry in shade.
Indigo fading is a natural characteristic of this fabric. With time and wear, the garment will develop a unique patina — this is a feature, not a flaw.

Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 30 reviews.
I just had the chance to use this piece for an outfit and it was amazing. The color, the texture everything. I love it! Originally I bought the brown one but I love it so much. I decided to buy the blue one, and I am so happy I did! Thank you. Time catcher clothes
Store owner replied:
Appreciate this so much! Glad the piece worked so well in your outfit, and even happier to hear you came back for the blue one too.
I love it and the material is great about to take a spin with it tomorrow! So excited to put this in an outfit!
I will definitely become a loyal customer and buy again from here.
Store owner replied:
Thanks for your kind words! Glad you’re excited to wear it and that the material hit the mark. We appreciate the support and look forward to having you back.
I do actually love this jacket. It looks and feels great. I coupled it with the fisherman's jumpers that are on sale here. Very reasonably priced too!
Store owner replied:
That’s wonderful to hear! We’re so glad you love the jacket and how it looks and feels. Pairing it with the fisherman’s jumper is a great combination. We’re happy the value stood out to you as well, thanks for sharing!
I'm delighted with my French, Corduroy shirt, really appreciated the emails to ensure I received the correct size, and am extremely happy with the fit, quality and design. I usually wear YMC, Folk, or Universal Works and this is definitely in the same league.
Thanks

Thank you for the kind words! We're really glad the quality lived up to your expectations. That means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your support!
As you might expect from TCC. Good quality, excellent jacket for excellent price. Makes me happy
Store owner replied:
Appreciate it. We’re glad the quality, design, and value lived up to your expectations. Thank you for your support and for being part of Time Catcher!
Great quality and priced well. The only issue for me was the M size had sleeves a bit too long but not a big problem for alterations
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We’re glad you’re enjoying the quality and value. We appreciate you sharing your sizing note as well.
Great fit, excellent quality. Perfect for a Scottish Summer.
Store owner replied:
Thanks for sharing! Adding a liner is a great suggestion for a warmer coat. We’ll take note for future improvements.
This piece is lightweight. Fit is accurate for XL w sleeves being a tad short on the wrist. Won’t have it tailored because to tailor sleeves is $45 & this thing was only $75.00. Wrinkles badly so you’ll need to iron it. It’s more of a flimsy lightweight overshirt than an actual chore coat. I have high quality chore coats from Buck Mason & Taylor Stitch & other brands - - Timecatcher is not premium but I wasn’t expecting premium for $75.00 lol. Bottom line: It’s ok but will likely end up being donated after a few wearings. Would not purchase again but it might be ok for someone looking to keep cost down. All the best,
Store owner replied:
Appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback. Sorry to hear the weight and fit didn't hit the mark for you.
This piece was built as a breathable option for warm-weather layering, but we clearly missed your expectations on density and sleeve length. We’re passing your notes on XL grading and fabric drape directly to our product team for future refinement.
Thank you for giving us a shot. If you’re open to it, we’d love to help you find a heavier-weight piece that actually stays in your closet. Please feel free to reach out.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the great feedback! We’re glad to hear you love the quality and that the coat is perfect for seasonal transitions. We really appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back again!
The cut is a little on the skimpy side, but still fits at XXL. I am a 48" chest and the coat is advertised at 50", so it should be a touch more comfortable. Excellent corduroy though and I love the colour.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the corduroy and color, and we appreciate your notes on the fit and sizing.
Love the fit, the color, style and the feel of the coat! I am 5'10" and 170 lbs and ordered Medium.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the fit and overall feel of the coat, and we appreciate you sharing your sizing details, as it helps other customers as well.
Expected the material to be a bit thicker for the price. Tailoring seems good, the overall look is good, but it does not feel like it will last through 5-6 wears in the Spring.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’re satisfied with the tailoring and overall look, and we appreciate your feedback regarding the fabric weight and durability. Your feedback has been shared with our product team and will help guide future improvements.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback and support! We are glad to hear the product met your expectations. We look forward to continuing to provide you with quality products.
Great quality and fits well, but upon arrival all of the button were extremely loose as if about to fall off. Disappointing considering this seems like an extremely easy part to ensure piece is ready to ship. Will now have to have this fixed myself
Store owner replied:
Thank you for sharing your honest review. We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by the loose buttons — this should not happen, and we completely understand your disappointment. We’ll be strengthening our quality inspection process to prevent issues like this in the future.
We sincerely apologize again for the trouble caused and appreciate your feedback, which helps us improve.
Love the fabric, but the cut is a little skimpy, but very nicely finished inside
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re truly delighted to hear that you love the fabric, it means a lot to our team.
Your comment on the fit is very helpful as we continue refining our product designs and sizing guidance. We’ve already shared your feedback with our design team as a reference for future improvements.
Your satisfaction continues to inspire us to improve. We look forward to providing you with more great products.
Looks good. The corduroy is a little lighter weight than expected but jacket is well-constructed.
I’m impressed with this chore jacket. The photos looked good and despite this being priced more like a lower-end piece, I took a chance on purchasing. The chore jacket drapes really well, the cut and lines, especially the pockets and arms (high-cut armscye), are really nice. So it looks good standing and moving around. It’s a bit wider in the body than I’d like (would prefer a slightly slimmer cut) but still quite contemporary and not bulky. I’ve washed it and worn it only a couple times, so far it looks well made and like it will last. Again the price made me think “fast fashion” but it isn’t. It’s a light corduroy, which means a bit of thought when you hang dry to keep it crisp, especially around the plackets and facings. Recommend, especially for the price.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your real wearing feedback and support! We hope we can continue to provide you with high-quality clothing at affordable prices!
Fit and feel are great quality. Items are pressed and packed with care for a presentation that shows commitment to excellence. Real world testing, washing and field use will come this fall.
Loved it right away. Just what I was looking for, classy and casual, light enough for Los Angeles. Great classic look and feel, usable pockets. Wouldn't garden in it perfect for around the house and around town.
I must confess I was expecting this to be a bit heavier and more substantial from the pics online - it is very light weight. That said, it is a very nice jacket - very comfortable to wear and I have been complimented when I have worn it.
