- In olden times it was a custom for tailors to go around from house to house and whoever wanted some clothes made, the tailor would stay with them while he would be making the clothes and be fed and also paid.
But now this custom abandoned when people want to get clothes made they go to the tailors shop and give him their fit and then the tailor would make the suit. There are three parts in every suit namely the trousers, the waist-coat and the coat.
