It takes 15 years to become a master tailor
Anthony Bourdain called Frank Shattuck the best tailor in the world. Frank is a boxer, an actor and a legendary tailor. No one makes sews suits with their hands as Frank does.
Frank Shattuck trained for fifteen years before he started on his own. It takes 65 hours to craft a suit from start to finish. He makes not more than fifteen suits in a year. Each suit costs about INR 3 lakhs.
“I was selling real estate in Syracuse a long time ago and I couldn’t stand it. So I went to two old tailors that made both my grandfathers’ suits and I would hang out in their shop all day because I liked them and they liked me. And one day I just started working with them. I picked up a thimble and that’s how it all started.“
