our story

1973

A Legacy Begins

In 1973, Mr. Jefferson established Jefferson’s Tailor Shop with a vision to bring Old World craftsmanship to St. Louis. His passion for creating perfectly fitted garments and his roots in classic European tailoring quickly attracted a loyal clientele. Every piece was hand-stitched with care, crafted from fabrics sourced from the world’s finest mills. Jefferson’s success was grounded in his understanding of timeless tailoring principles, combined with his innovative approach to meet each client’s unique style.

The Next Generation – Jefferson & Sons Tailors

By 1986, the shop evolved into Jefferson & Sons Tailors with the addition of Mr. Jefferson’s son, Daniel, who brought fresh energy and new ideas. Under his father’s guidance, Daniel mastered traditional techniques and developed an unmatched eye for detail. Embracing subtle changes in fashion, he began experimenting with modern cuts and finishes while upholding the classic, tailored style his father established. Together, they expanded their services to include custom shirts and accessories, making Jefferson & Sons a premier destination for gentlemen’s fashion in St. Louis.

An advocate for blending classic techniques with modern technology, Matthew introduced digital fittings and design software, enhancing the precision of each custom fit.

Jefferson & Sons combines tradition and artistry in a way that is truly inspiring. I came in for a custom shirt, but the whole experience transformed how I see my wardrobe. The tailors understood my style instantly and made adjustments I hadn’t even thought of. The end result? A shirt that feels like it was made just for me – because it was.
