About Us

Most fashion brands don’t produce their own garments. We’re proud to be part of the limited few that do.

Founded in Copenhagen in 2014, Son of a Tailor is one of the most pioneering menswear brands in operation today. With over one million products sold, we’ve redefined everyday essentials through custom-fit precision and a transformative made-to-order production model.

2025 is a pivotal year for us as we evolve from a tech-driven brand into a tastemaker in menswear. As we continue to scale, we’re looking for a Pattern Maker to join our team. We’ve built a unique and streamlined pattern-making process that allows us to generate patterns automatically and in real-time. Your role will be to support and refine this process—ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and continuous improvement.

You’ll be responsible for supporting and refining our automated pattern-making system, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and continuous improvement. Working closely with our Senior Pattern Maker and the rest of our Supply Chain team, you’ll have the opportunity to shape how we optimize fit and streamline processes in a way that challenges traditional industry norms. You’ll have the autonomy to bring new ideas to life while collaborating with a dedicated, forward-thinking team in an open and dynamic environment.

Working at
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 tech-forward fashion company. We have 100,000+ customers around the world, a fantastic team in Denmark and Portugal and we get great reviews by GQ, Esquire, Trustpilot and Highsnobiety.
