Part-time Store Assistant

Salary Competitive

Son of a Tailor is going to open its first physical retail store in the heart of Copenhagen - and we want you to be a part of it. Having reshaped the way people purchase clothing online, we’re excited to introduce our made-to-order concept to an offline setting. We’re bringing a new retail approach and technology that hasn’t been seen before to create a unique, engaging experience. Are you the part-time Store Assistant who’ll help us kickstart this store, that should be the first of many?


Who we are

Headquartered in Copenhagen and with our own production in Portugal, we’re spearheading the made-to-order revolution.

Son of a Tailor

Since the beginning of mass production a hundred years ago, the clothing industry has not treated its people, products or our planet well. The arrival of e-commerce, with its increased return rates and squeezed margins, only caused worse conditions and more waste in an already careless industry. Son of a Tailor has changed this. Through technology and a lean supply chain, we are fundamentally changing how apparel is made. We have no inventories, always do custom fit on demand, we create much less waste, and reconnect the link between those who make the garments and those who wear them. We are a clothing tech company. We have customers basically around the world, a fantastic team in Denmark and Portugal and we get great reviews by GQ, Esquire and Highsnobiety, to name a few.
