    Job description

    Tailor – Surmesur

    Who we are

    At Surmesur, we’re redefining the custom clothing experience. Our boutiques are built around one goal: delivering a true “wow” moment, through exceptional fit, thoughtful design, and a highly personalized client journey. We don’t just make suits. We build wardrobes, confidence, and presence.

    We’re growing, and we’re looking for a Tailor who takes pride in their craft and wants to be part of a brand that’s pushing the industry forward.

    Our culture (what we actually care about)

    • Be better – We’re always refining, improving, and raising the bar
    • Be creative – We value ideas, innovation, and personal style
    • Take action – We move fast and deliver for our clients
    • Have fun – We take the work seriously, not ourselves

    What you’ll do

    This is a hands-on, high-impact role. You’ll own the quality and precision of our garments and play a key role in the client experience.

    • Execute high-level alterations (jackets, trousers, vests, shirts — full scope)
    • Ensure every garment meets Surmesur’s fit standards
    • Manage alteration timelines and client expectations with precision
    • Support fittings alongside the styling team when needed
    • Identify fit issues quickly and propose clean, effective solutions
    • Maintain an organized, professional tailoring space
    • Collaborate with the Branch Manager on recurring fit challenges and improvements

    Who you are

    • Passionate about tailoring, craftsmanship, and fashion
    • Detail-obsessed — you notice what others miss
    • Fast, efficient, and accountable under pressure
    • Comfortable working independently and with a team
    • Solutions-driven — you don’t just flag problems, you fix them
    • Adaptable and open to new tools, processes, and ways of working

    What you bring

    • 5+ years of menswear tailoring experience (preferred)
    • Strong understanding of garment construction and fit
    • Advanced alteration experience across jackets, trousers, vests, and shirts
    • Experience with industrial machines (hemming, serger, etc.)
    • Ability to diagnose fit issues and execute precise corrections
    • Strong time management and organizational skills

    What we offer

    • Competitive salary (based on experience)
    • Commission program
    • Clothing allowance + 60% employee discount
    • Ongoing training and development
    • A fast-growing brand with real opportunity to grow your role

    If you care about craftsmanship, take pride in your work, and want to be part of a team that’s building something meaningful, we’d love to meet you.
