EVERY BRAND HAS ITS BEGINNING — THIS IS OURS

Behind the Seams is where we share the heart of A Gentleman’s Tale: how we began, what drives us, and what continues to shape our story today. Every story begins somewhere — this is ours, and hopefully, yours too.

Step into our world, where personal style meets purpose. Whether you are here for your first suit or a new occasion, we invite you to discover what makes A Gentleman’s Tale more than just a tailor.

ABOUT US

A Gentleman’s Tale began with one simple belief: everyone deserves to feel confident in their own skin. Look Good, Feel Good, Do Good. We started out as tailors on the go: carrying fabric books and tools across town by public transport, meeting clients wherever they were and making each fitting personal, convenient, and mobile. That turned into a mobile tailoring van, and later, a studio space we now call home. It’s been a story shaped by personality, creativity, and care.

We began by tailoring professional business wear for both men and women. As our clients' needs evolved, so did we — growing into stylish pieces for every part of life: from work to weekends, and everything in between.

What brought A Gentleman’s Tale to life wasn’t a grand plan, but a meaningful conversation: the kind where ideas flow, curiosity leads, and purpose takes shape. Not long after, the brand was born with a simple mission: to make tailoring more personal, more accessible, and more thoughtful.

From that first chat to the work we do today, the spirit remains the same: led by connection, care, and the people we dress every day.

OUR MISSION

At A Gentleman’s Tale, our mission is to build a lifestyle brand that transcends traditional boundaries, forging deep relationships based on trust, honesty, and integrity. We aim to combine these core values with a touch of quirkiness and fun, creating a brand that resonates with authenticity while bringing joy to every interaction.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to craft a lifestyle business that thrives on collaboration and partnerships, delivering an experience that feels magical at every touchpoint.

  • TAILORED TRADITIONS, MODERN QUIRKS

    We honour timeless craftsmanship while embracing personality. From classic suits to unexpected prints, our style lives where tradition meets creativity.

  • THE HEART OF THE TALE

    We believe in slow fashion, meaningful relationships, and clothing made to last. Your wardrobe should tell your story, and we are here to help shape every chapter.

    More than just a line; it is how we show up. We dress with purpose, live with confidence, and aim to leave a little good behind wherever we go.
