Tailoring

 

 

COMMUNITY is excited to announce that we have a tailor in residence. If you have ever dreamed of having a suit custom made for you, you can now book a TAILORING CONSULTATION with Tommy O'Shea.

Hello! My name is Tommy O’Shea. In my family, tailoring is tradition. My Grandfather, his father, and two more fathers before that all worked their needles in Limerick City, Ireland. My interest in fashion brought me to love the magic of tailored clothes. In my time working as a stylist I obsessed over beautiful suiting. I yearned for the craftsmanship of the suits made on Saville Row. It was that passion that led me to the Handcraft Tailor Academy in Monaghan, Ireland, to follow in the footsteps of my forefathers. I trained under Master Tailor, Rory Duffy, from September 2022 to December 2023 and learned everything I could about bespoke tailoring. Over the course of my training I earned my certifications in:

*Pattern Drafting for Bespoke Menswear
*Trouser Making for Bespoke Menswear
*Waistcoat Making for Bespoke Menswear
*Handcraft Coat making for Bespoke Menswear
*Fitting for Bespoke Menswear

Now I find myself in Athens as a new member of your community. So whether it’s fixing up that old suit in your closet or creating your very own bespoke piece, book an appointment with me today and we can collaborate to make your tailoring dreams a reality!
