Players who have just started to learn shoemaking are delighted and supportive of such young people and the fresh blood of this traditional handicraft industry.
The young man told me that he hoped his father would be proud of himself and agree with his career choice when he read this article.
This is by no means a glamorous job, but in the current industrialized society, it is an art close to people.

Wee and I have known each other for many years, and he has handled hundreds of times more shoes than me. After he opened the Shanghai branch of Coller, a Hong Kong custom-made shop, he also tried it. Coller’s positioning is still very interesting, the outpost of young Asian tailors in Europe. Then, he changed from manager to tailor, which surprised me very much.
Of course, the manager needs some professional knowledge, but becoming a craftsman is not a commercial choice at least. So, why?
Get to know Shi Jingwei with me. This is the first time that we have interviewed him since we met for so many years.

I’ve been hoping to introduce customized shops or tailors all over the country who focus on products to everyone. The root cause is that this is a local business, and more frequent exchanges can bring better products and experiences.
This time, it happened that this tailor from Tianjin filled a gap in a city and helped me to light up a city with one store and one city, Tianjin.
And his background and working experience are more interesting.

Independent tailors always make people have a lot of fantasies or reverence. Compared with custom-made shops, they give people a closer feeling, and then there are not many marketing or storefront costs, so no matter what their price is, you will feel that they are paid to the people who make things for you, and there is a sense of psychological satisfaction. There are certainly not a few independent tailors in China, but there are not many who do their own clothes, and Zhang Xiao is definitely the first. Then there used to be Master Gong in Nanchang (now Master Gong’s status is unknown), and then there is the protagonist today, MD Wu. MD entered everyone’s field of vision very early, thanks to the propaganda of Brother Seven, and then gradually became silent, but in fact, it is still tirelessly torturing itself.
Look at his miserable life.
