History of Tailoring

The Art of Tailoring: Honoring Tradition, Perfecting the Present

The artistry of tailoring is defined by the delicate balance of designing, cutting, fitting, and
finishing garments to perfection. What began centuries ago as a necessity has evolved into a
refined craft—one that A+ Tailoring Frisco is proud to carry forward with skill and dedication.

A Legacy Stitched Through Time

The profession of tailoring dates back to the early Middle Ages, when skilled linen armorers
crafted padded undergarments for knights, ensuring both protection and comfort beneath their
chain mail and plated armor. During this time, men’s clothing largely consisted of tunics and
hosiery, requiring a precise fit even in the most basic of designs.
By the 1500s and 1600s, tailors were entrusted with the creation of sophisticated outerwear
such as capes, cloaks, and coats. They incorporated stiff linen and canvas interlining to shape
garments and even reinforced elements like corsets with whalebone—a practice that endured
until the 19th century. Luxurious garments were lined with satin or fur, signifying status and
refinement.
The 1800s saw a shift in tailoring as trousers, waistcoats, and sportswear became staples in
men’s wardrobes. Wool replaced silk and velvet in everyday menswear, establishing itself as the
defining fabric of fine suits—an enduring tradition that continues today in both men’s and
women’s fashion.
