What working here looks like
Our work is practical, busy and detail-driven. One day you may be helping with a studio fitting in Rosebank, and the next you might be checking measurements, preparing garments for courier delivery or supporting a repeat order for a client in Sandton or Durban. We serve customers across South Africa so the pace can change quickly, especially when wedding dates, business trips or seasonal wardrobe updates come through.
We value people who show up on time, communicate clearly and can keep calm when a garment needs a small adjustment before it leaves the studio. Load-shedding, courier timing and last-minute client changes are part of the day sometimes, so we look for staff who stay organised and practical.
Roles we hire for
We do not keep to one fixed type of job. Depending on the season and production needs, we may look for people with experience in tailoring, client service, garment preparation or operations support. Some roles are client-facing, while others happen behind the scenes on the cutting and finishing side.
- Studio fitting and client support
- Cutting and garment preparation
- Tailoring and alteration refinement
- Fabric handling and finishing
- Production coordination and order tracking
- Client experience and wardrobe planning support
If you understand menswear or formalwear, that helps, but we also value steady hands, good judgement and a willingness to learn. A strong candidate is often someone who can spot a sleeve imbalance, explain a fitting change clearly and keep the paperwork in order.
Skills that suit our team
Because we work with made-to-measure shirts and suits, attention to detail is essential. We also need people who can work with different body shapes, fabric weights and style preferences without rushing the process. A neat finish and careful note-taking matter just as much as technical skill.
- Experience in tailoring, alterations or garment production
- Comfort working with measurements and fitting notes
- Clear communication with clients and colleagues
- Good time management and follow-through
- Respect for fabric handling and final presentation
- Ability to work in a studio and production setting
We are based in Rosebank, Johannesburg, so applicants should be comfortable with local travel when needed. Some roles may suit people living in Sandton, Midrand, Randburg, Pretoria or nearby areas, depending on transport and availability.
Meaningful tailoring for life events
Our team works on clothing that clients actually wear for important moments, whether that is a wedding, office wear or a suit for travel. That makes the work meaningful. You can see the result of your effort on the client, not just on a hanger. It is satisfying, and yes it can be exacting too, because fit matters.
We also keep our process fairly direct. People know what is expected, and there is room to grow if you are dependable and take pride in the small details. If you enjoy proper tailoring and prefer a place where everyone has to pull their weight, you will fit in well.
How to apply
To apply, send your CV through the enquiry form on our contact page and mention the kind of role you are looking for. If you have a portfolio, photos of completed garments or examples of fitting work, you can include that in your message too. Please do not use email addresses or phone numbers, as we handle all first contact through the form.
Tell us where you are based, what experience you have and whether you are looking for full-time or part-time work. If you have worked in a studio, workshop or retail fitting environment before, mention that clearly. If your background is in formalwear, alterations or garment finishing, include those details as well.
Our workplace standards
We expect a tidy studio, careful handling of customer garments and respectful communication at all times. Client information must stay private, and garments must be tracked properly from fitting through to finishing. That kind of discipline keeps orders moving and helps avoid mistakes.
- Arrive ready for work and keep to agreed schedules
- Handle garments, trims and fabrics with care
- Keep measurements and client notes accurate
- Support studio and production teams when needed
- Maintain a professional manner with every client
We are especially interested in people who understand that good tailoring is built on consistency. One missed note can throw off a jacket sleeve or trouser break, so we value accuracy every time.
