What’s in a name?

So, in a world of fountain pens, what’s with the name “Nib Tailor”? It’s a nod of respect to my mother. I was never a classic “Mama’s Boy”, but when I became a father I started to better understand some of the choices and sacrifices my mother made in a new way. The first sound of my childhood mornings was her commercial sewing machines reverberating through the house. When I went off to school, sewing. When I returned, more sewing. When I laid my head to the pillow? Her sewing machine was my soundtrack as I to drifted off to sleep.

This same woman was always able to provide for her family. I am humbled by her work ethic and dedication to making the best life that she knew of for us. So I named this endeavor the Nib Tailor. While I do focus on providing each client with a “custom fit” writing experience, the name is a personal reminder of my role as a business owner in support for my own family.
