A tailor works with custom sewing, costume sewing, tailoring and other professional work related to the production of menswear. The job also involves providing clients with advice and services in designing, implementing and tailoring clothing. Tailors sometimes specialize in making clothing from heavier materials and often work with a standard format. Tailoring is a certified trade.

As a tailor, you could work in a clothing factory, a sewing studio or in your own workshop. Tailors often manage production, supervise or provide professional guidance in their work.
