Nearly two years after his dramatic firing from Men’s Wearhouse, George Zimmer, below, has returned with an army. An army of tailors, that is.
The retail icon’s new startup, zTailors, is a nationwide network of on-demand tailoring professionals. Launched on Monday, the business allows customers to book a tailor to come to their home or office to handle alterations on garments — both men’s and women’s wear. After measurements are taken, the clothes are whisked away for tailoring. The process should take a week or less. If the fit’s wonky, additional changes are free.
In the summer of 2013, the Men’s Wearhouse board unceremoniously booted Zimmer. He appeared for decades in TV commercials for Men’s Wearhouse, saying, “You’re going to like the way you look. I guarantee it.”
