In 1950, after surviving the Holocaust, David Mark arrived in Boston from Europe with little more than his skills as a tailor and the hope of building a better life for his family. He spent the next decade learning a new country, a new city, and a new language, quietly perfecting his craft in the backrooms of Boston’s menswear retailers. 

A decade later he struck out on his own, opening his namesake shop – Mark The Tailor – in the iconic Motor Mart Garage. There he became known by the people of Boston for his obsession with fine fabrics and meticulous handwork, crafting custom garments for his loyal customers until his life was tragically cut short in 1969. 

Inspired by David Mark’s story, Adam and Lindsay re-launched Mark The Tailor to carry his legacy forward. While originating in the mid-century, its core values are as relevant as ever: a personal sense of style, a love for good clothing, an obsession with fabric, and a commitment to quality.
