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.
