What Tom Tailor (湯姆西服) is known for
Tom's Tailor (湯姆西服) traces its origin to Shanghai in 1916, when city gentlemen were trading long gowns for Western suits, and moved to Taipei's Bo'ai district in 1945. The house follows the Shanghai tailoring school's sixteen-character rules through more than a hundred hand steps, cutting cloth from Scabal, Holland & Sherry, Dormeuil and Loro Piana. It describes itself as tailor to successive presidents and public figures. The shop is at 90 Bo'ai Road, Zhongzheng, Taipei.
Tom's Tailor (湯姆西服) traces its origin to 上海 in 1916. The house connects that period with the move from long gowns toward Western suits among modern professional customers. In 1945 the business continued in 台北博愛特區. Its account names a sixteen-character discipline associated with the original tailoring school and says a suit passes through more than one hundred hand processes. Cloth suppliers include Scabal, Dormeuil and Loro Piana. The firm also describes work for successive presidents and public figures, placing formal public tailoring within its history. These facts establish a bespoke house through its chronology and hand-work methods rather than a general claim of tradition. The 1916 and 1945 dates show the change of city, while the named mills clarify the cloth context. The hand-work sequence explains how the house distinguishes its method. For ORBIS, the entry should be read as a tailoring lineage that moved from 上海 to 台北 and continued through private commissions.
