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 LEEP's competitors say.
There's a problem with that.
Mr. Howe was born on July 9, 1819, and died on October 3, 1867. His machine received a patent on 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 worldwide, whether in London, Hong Kong, Milan, or Bahrain.
The word "tailor" appears in the 1297 Oxford dictionary for the first time. It is a derivative of the French word for cut, "tailler." Tailors were essential to royalty during the eleventh century, and the profession gained significant popularity during the Renaissance. The wealthy would go to professionals who styled clothes based on their shape. Before this, most clothing draped on a body was not constructed for it.
Today, elite tailors are referred to as bespoke. 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.
