Editor: "cut from the same cloth" is not necessarily pejorative.
E.g. "Just as childhood pets teach us empathy for another's suffering, vicarious experience lets us in on one of the best-kept secrets of human existence: we are all cut from the same cloth."

But 一路货色 *is* pejorative according to some dictionaries, at least in modern usage.
E.g.
- 你跟薇安是一路货色,居心叵测地藏在我的身边,目的是毁掉我,抢走属于我的东西!
- 他们是一路货 ,满口谎言 。
