WHY WE SHARE OUR KNOWLEDGE

Real tailoring skills.
For everyone.

As one of the oldest tailoring businesses in the world, Wimmer Tailoring has accumulated knowledge and expertise in the art of tailoring over nine generations and passed it on to the next.

In this video, Stefan Wimmer II, a master tailor in the 9th generation, explains why it is so important to him and his family to share their knowledge with the world and why he founded the Tailor Academy.
