Son of a Master Tailor – Made to Measure

As a part of The Rocks’ Village Bizzare, this pop-​up shop has, err, popped up.
Two-​tone corduroy ties, vests, suit jackets and suit pants make up this little ‘Bizarre Experience’. Cuff-​links made from the brain of a watch and neck chains (is that what you call a necklace for a man?) made from the same sit in the cabinet that separate the shop from the fitting room out the back. As well as just selling unique pieces, Son of a Master Tailor will tailor clothes specifically to you and give you an ‘über cool styling session’ (his words, not mine).
The man in here (I’m assuming either the son of a master tailor or the master tailor himself, alluding to the fact that his clothes are his offspring) is friendly and non-​intrusive — he made himself available for assistance without following us with his eyes and/​or body in a hawk-​like manner.
For anyone wishing to spend $ 150 plus on a vest, I highly recommend a visit to 77 ½ George St to see this son of a gun. The vests are charming and quirky whilst still filling the dapper category and the ties are actually too cool to leave behind. And though I did leave it behind, I will be going back for it.
(NB: The Village Bizarre runs from 4 Nov — 23 Dec.)
