Experienced Men's Tailor

Job Description

About the Role:

Adams Haberdashers Inc. is looking for a skilled and ambitious Men's Tailor who is ready to take their craft to the next level. Based in New Providence, NJ, this is a unique opportunity for an experienced tailor with an entrepreneurial spirit — someone who dreams of one day owning their own shop and wants a clear path to get there.

Responsibilities:

• Perform expert alterations, fittings, and custom tailoring on men's suits, dress shirts, trousers, and formalwear
• Conduct client consultations to assess fit, style preferences, and garment needs
• Execute precise hand-stitching, machine sewing, and finishing techniques
• Manage garment intake, turnaround timelines, and client communications
• Maintain and operate professional tailoring equipment and tools
• Contribute to building and retaining a loyal clientele base

Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional men's tailoring or bespoke garment experience
• Proficiency in alterations, pattern adjustments, and custom fitting techniques
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to grow into shop ownership
• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to quality craftsmanship
• Strong interpersonal and customer service skills
• Ability to manage time effectively and handle multiple projects simultaneously

About Us:
The position I'm trying to fill is a little different from a traditional tailoring job.

I have a custom tailor shop located next to my men's clothing store, and I'm looking for an experienced tailor to take over the shop and operate it as your own independent business. You would receive guaranteed alteration work from my retail store while also having the opportunity to build your own clientele and serve walk-in customers.

This gives you the security of steady income from our alteration business, along with the flexibility and earning potential of owning and growing your own shop. The space is large enough that, as your business grows, you could even hire additional tailors.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, I'd be happy to have you stop by, see the location, and discuss the opportunity in more detail.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Adams Haberdashers Inc. has been a trusted name in fine men's clothing and tailoring in the New Providence, NJ area, earning a loyal following for our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and personalized service. Our tailor are very important to our success and are vital to our business. We invest in our team and believe in growing talent from within — making this the perfect home for a tailor ready to build a future.
