For many years, tailoring has been a niche for enthusiasts and aficionados. However, Germany still hosts numerous tailoring businesses offering a wide range of services. The "elite" of tailoring is the bespoke suit, crafted by hand using traditional methods.

 

The establishment of an association of Germany's top tailors was a collective step into the future of this centuries-old craft. The association and its members aim to preserve artisanal skills, attract new talent, and, of course, uphold the cultural heritage of the bespoke suit.

 

Even today, the "true" bespoke suit remains a prime example of the aesthetic and cultural value of men's tailoring. A suit from a master tailor always guarantees a sustainable and high-quality product made from natural materials such as wool, horsehair canvas, and buckram.
