- There are a few talors that I know of but one I know best is John Mc Mahon. He can make suits and over coats. If he had good cloth he could make good suits. A talor used cisors and needles ad thread and also a machine. He has the cisors for cutting the cloth and the needle and thread for sewing the cloth. If a talor had no machine he could not make suits. It takes very good cloth for to make a good suit. The thin cloth or the wolly cloth is no good for making suits it take very good cloth for to make suits. Takes about three yards and a half for to make a suit. There is all kind of colours of cloth for making suits such as bown cloth and black cloth and alot of other kinds of cloth
