Tailoring a Family Tradition in San Francisco since 1870
Great-Great Grandpa 1869 before he headed west to San Francisco
In 1869, the Trans Continental Railroad was finished and connected. Great-Great Grandpa high tailed it out of Europe west to San Francisco the following year. He had his tailoring shop setup in SF by 1874. Among the things he made were butcher aprons.
