Discussions With A Master Tailor:Part 1

In the world of custom clothing and fine garments it is rare that an individual can be considered a master tailor. Here at SPICER Exquisite Fashion we relish at the opportunity to share thoughts and ideas with an individual who has as much knowledge and experience as master tailor Dennis Moore. In the world of garment craftsmanship and bespoke tailoring Moore along with a few other master tailors are becoming extinct in this respected field. We have taken just a small glimpse inside the mindset of this master.

In his adolescent years Moore began his tailoring journey in high school as an apprentice under master tailor Phillip Solomon who was his high school tailoring teacher. Solomon also owned his own shop, which at the time was called Solomon’s Distinguished Tailors. As he continued to learn from Solomon and watched his mother sew garments by hand Moore still was not fully sold on the idea of becoming an esteemed master tailor. It took a major event for Moore to realize that this was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. As an apprentice and not quite as skilled as his mentor Moore asked Phillip Solomon to construct his high school prom tuxedo. The tux was a major hit with Moore’s peers and upper echelon faculty at his school and from that point moving forward he fell in love with handmade garments and his career began. Moore soon found out that if you are good at what you do in this field that you could basically write your own paycheck. This is the case because the lack of accessibility when it comes to a master tailor was and still is few and far in between.
Moore exclaims, “it’s a new day and age and people are not willing to take the time to pick up such an in depth craft in which you have to sit under a master tailor for years to become well endowed in this practice.” Unfortunately, from what we have learned the knowledge you receive in school is not as inclusive as what you will gain from sitting under a master tailor. As we continue our journey to success, we will continue to utilize the much appreciated and much needed skill set of master tailor Dennis Moore.
