A community-sourced network of custom tailors serving the working class.
Our specialty: We specialize in affordable work-wear for construction & farm workers, with a focus on the "plainclothes" style. We mend old fabrics and tailor donated items to fit our customers' needs. As a labor of love, we regularly spend half of our time sourcing low-priced fabrics, while the other half is spent at the sewing machine ... call us for a free quote! 🧵
Fabric: we like to source natural-fiber textiles made from:
flax 🌿 > linens
cotton 🌱 > undergarments
hemp 🪴 > work gear
wool 🐑 > socks & sweaters
fur🐰> hats & coats
leather 🐮 > belts & shoes (from Hermann Oak Tanners)
