Our History
A Corner Stone Since 1975
Steve’s tailoring and menswear has been a corner stone in Canton since 1975 but it’s history actually started in Greece 1945 just as World War II came to a close. That’s when Stavros Antoniades (later known as Steve) was sent away to apprentice under a master tailor at the young age of 13. His apprenticeship took many years of perseverance but it was there Stavros learned the skills of a master tailor, an education that just isn’t available anymore. He then went on to serve in the Greek military as a tailor on the island of Crete. After serving his country Stavros open his first tailor shop in 1950. The business steadily grew for 17 years but in Greece there were limits to what could be accomplished.
Canton Ohio
Stavros like millions around the world had his eyes set on the American dream for him and his family. It’s a dream that came true in 1967 when Stavros along with his wife and two children journeyed to America. For years in the states Stavros worked for a prominent clothier during the day while spending his evenings tirelessly making suits for his own customers out of the basement of his home. The American dream comes to those that earn it, and that’s precisely what Stavros made happen in 1975 when he established his very own store in Canton.
