Disgraced Ex-Men's Wearhouse Spokesman Founds "Uber For Tailors"

None

You might not know George Zimmer by name, but you definitely remember him as the guy who used to be in the Men's Wearhouse commercials lying to your goddamn face about how you would like the way you looked. He even guaranteed it. What a fucking dickhead. While in his absence MW has essentially become the Voltron of garbage after acquiring Jos. A Bank in one of the greatest back and forth struggles for trash in recent memory, Zimmer is now back for more according to Dealbook. He's getting in on the start-up game with zTailors. Or, as he calls it, "Uber for tailors."

Admittedly, the idea is a noble one. zTailors allows you to connect with a local tailor and have them come to your home, measure you up, alter your gear and ship it back without the hassle of actually going to your tailor's spot. Simple as that. I don't know how difficult it is for you to leave your house to get your pants tapered, but, hey, if it's really that hard, this might help. Zimmer also claims this could help keep tailors in business. After all, these guys work long hours and don't make all that much money. Will it potentially double their income like he says? Only time will tell on that front. Though, again, this is a guy who has made his life's work talking reckless. Naturally, the "z" in zTailors stands for Zimmer because there's nothing more important than keeping that personal brand popping. Maybe you'll finally like the way you look. Fingers crossed.
