World Tailor Day is rumored to mark the birthday of Elias Howe, Jr., the man who invented the first sewing machine. At least that is what our competitors say.
There's a problem with that.
Mr. Howe was born on July 9, 1819 and he died on October 3, 1867. His machine was patented September 10, 1846. Sadly, there is no way to tie February 28 to Mr. Howe. It's still a great day to honor these meticulous craftsmen and women around the world, be it London, Hong Kong, Milan or Bahrain.
The word 'tailor' appears for the first time in the 1297 Oxford dictionary. It is a derivative of the French word for cut, 'tailler'. Tailors were first used by royalty during the eleventh century. The profession gained significant popularity during the Renaissance. The wealthy would go to professionals who styled clothes for them, based upon their own shape. Prior to this, most clothing was draped.
Today, the top tailors are referred to as bespoke tailors, and their suits bespoke suits. These custom artisans create one of a kind fashions for their elite clientele. When you find a good one, hang on tight. There is nothing finer than well fitting clothes.
