of a piece

Cut from one

Of a piece describes things that belong together or share the same character.

When something is of a piece with something else, they're consistent, unified, or cut from the same cloth: His later novels are all of a piece—same themes, same pessimism.

The phrase suggests coherence, whether admirable or not: The corruption was of a piece with everything else about the regime.
