Professional Haberdasher vs. Tailor

Jeff Collins, Professional Haberdasher

Recently I had an inquiry from a young gentleman who wanted my help making the suits he purchased from a local store fit properly. Based on the issues he relayed to me I was able to give him some suggestions on how the garments could be adjusted to fit his frame and get closer to the look he was attempting to achieve. Then I gave him the name & number of a master tailor.

You see, he didn’t really need me at that point. He needed someone to fix his problems by adjusting ill-fitting clothing & make them work for him. That is the difference between a tailor & a haberdasher. The tailor fixes the things you buy off the rack at stores while my way of helping people is to make the clothes fit perfectly… in the first place. A haberdasher gets to understand the style, fit & function you want from your clothing. Then has the clothing made to fulfill your wishes.
