TAILOR

A tailor is a maker of men's outer garments or of women's garments which have similar characteristics such as coats, suits and riding-clothes. Originally the name was applied to someone who made any sort of clothes, but became restricted over time. In the 19th century in Britain the tailor trade passed predominantly into the hands of the Jewish community and sweating became rife in the industry resulting in tailoring being one of the four industries put under the trade boards when they were introduced into Great Britain and Ireland in 1910.
