Sam started tailoring when he was a young boy. He developed his craft in small, incremental steps: first sewing by hand, then making button holes, then pockets. He worked with his cousins in an uncle’s shop, producing 25 custom suits a week. Sam came to Canada and apprenticed further with a number of master tailors, perfecting the art of finishing, alterations and fitting a garment to the individual.
For Sam, it’s the finish and styling that give the piece its look. A suit must work with your body – the style and cut should improve or highlight the customer’s attributes.
