Hugo Boss 1928
Hugo Ferdinand Boss (8 July 1885 – 9 August 1948)[1] was a German businessman who founded the fashion house Hugo Boss. He was an active member of the Nazi Party from 1931 and remained so until Nazi Germany’s capitulation. His clothing company also utilized forced labor drawn from German-occupied territories and prisoner-of-war camps to manufacture military uniforms for the Schutzstaffel and Wehrmacht.
The invention of the “size
This was made in a workshop line, around 1860 for military. The industry has been essential for creating employment and a stable middle class for hundreds of years, far before ready-made clothing and globalization.
After which the European Holocaust prevailed with a conservative estimate loss of 10,000 European old school tailors, the hand industry had collapsed in Germany. This prompted the loss of tailoring standards and tailors, Tailors today lack associations and that is why with the web Samson Wardrobes can be an asset to the bespoke fit service industry.

There is a progressive narrative to weaken the west. This is not new, but part of woke, and Russian, Quatar and Chinese totalitarian concept of winning without a shot.
Demoralized people do not show up nor stand out with formality, their expertise, nor their convictions.
In our personal area of influence, disciplines strength to change their world daily. My purpose is to allow the craft of bespoke fit via Tailoringdesign initially, then handcrafting for the absolute hand made suite driven to once again to be an important value for society.
Tailoringdesign with the web is competitive simply through efficiency, lower overhead and results. It will create an awareness of human values in a world of AI and humanoids in the next decade. I believe human contact, will prompt a market for TD and even hand made on premise. With national production, this also opens jobs to being hand tailors, who learn various tailoring processes. Even if humanoids do some of the processes, it will be up to the consumer to see the end result. All the while opening up more work that are rare as hand crafted. Especially for original made on premise in a week could be faster. All these tailors need then need to do is learn to take designer measurements and to cut as I have. Suppliers of wool fibers from locally grown sheep to milling cloth in USA, to made to measure manufacturing in the Americas. After 60 years of importation of sizes, this type of tailored substance and personalization will be welcome.
Designers as good communicators will be an asset to bespoke tailors today or in future. Allowing new designers to join up with immigrant or local alterations and hand tailors. Designers are needed to build confidence in clients own choices. A TD is there to add quality to customers whims and ideas. This lends likelihood to the confidence of outcome.
Since the demise of European tailors in two world wars, the standards of tailored fit have fallen to the lowest common denominator wrinkles from poor fit everywhere you look! This is an opportunity for any TD. The loss of this trade is your opportunity in the future. Many may think and hope for computer body scanners, but in the last 10 years none have been successful and are mostly hype. This hope is redundant with 15 minutes of qualified measures and design followed by the first satisfactory suit. This problem waiting for the messiah of computer tailoring, is that due to the fact that they need tailors to program it. This is an unlikely event. Besides the cost of overhead, equipment and branding is going to compete with your personality, motivation and reputation. There will always be people that believe in reputation and people over machines.
