The Beginning
Simon picked up his first measuring tape at sixteen. While his peers were focused on school and social life, he found himself drawn to something different — the quiet precision of tailoring, the satisfaction of a perfect fit, the art of transforming fabric into something that changes how a man carries himself.
Learning the Craft
Over the next decade, Simon worked the floors of Bangkok's busiest tailoring districts — Silom, Sukhumvit, MBK. These weren't glamorous apprenticeships in some European atelier. This was real-world education: thousands of fittings, hundreds of different body types, the unforgiving feedback of clients who expected perfection.
He learned by doing. Measuring. Cutting. Adjusting. Starting over when something wasn't right. Every day brought new lessons — not from textbooks, but from the master craftsmen who'd spent their entire lives perfecting this trade.
"You can read about tailoring," Simon says. "But you can't understand it until you've stood in front of a client who trusted you with their wedding suit. That pressure teaches you more than any course ever could."
The Conversations That Shaped Him
Between fittings, Simon listened. To the masters who'd dressed diplomats and executives for decades. To clients who shared what they loved — and hated — about their tailoring experiences elsewhere. To the quiet wisdom passed down through generations of Bangkok craftsmen.
He noticed patterns. Clients wanted quality, yes — but they also wanted honesty. They were tired of being upsold. They appreciated tailors who respected their time. They valued service that adapted to their lives, not the other way around.
These insights would later become the foundation of Eternal Tailor.
The Decision
By 2024, Simon had spent a decade mastering his craft. He'd fitted thousands of clients. He'd learned from the best in Bangkok. He'd developed his own philosophy about what bespoke tailoring should be.
At 25, he made the leap.
Not to open another shop — Bangkok has plenty of those. But to build something different. An atelier where decade-old expertise meets modern service. Where clients are partners, not transactions. Where the craft is honored, but not at the expense of practicality.
Eternal Tailor Is Born
The location was intentional: beneath the iconic Lebua State Tower in Silom, Bangkok's original tailoring district. A space that honors the tradition Simon learned from while pointing toward the future he's building.
Today, Simon leads a team that shares his philosophy. They've dressed executives racing to catch flights with 24-hour rush orders. They've traveled to Singapore and Malaysia for trunk shows, bringing the Bangkok tailoring experience to clients who can't make the journey. They've built a reputation not just for quality garments, but for service that actually serves.
The Philosophy
"I started young because I had to," Simon reflects. "But I stayed because I found something worth dedicating my life to. When a client puts on a suit we made and stands a little taller — that never gets old."
At 26, Simon isn't the oldest tailor in Bangkok. He's not trying to be. What he offers is something different: a decade of hands-on expertise combined with the energy and adaptability of a new generation. Old-world craftsmanship. Modern understanding.
That's Eternal Tailor.
