An Unlikely Master Mariachi Tailor

Available for over a year

Some call him ‘El Maestro’ — The Master — but his real name is Jorge Tello. It’s a fitting title for a Los Angeles-based tailor known for crafting some of the most intricate suits in the world, those worn by Mexican mariachis. But Tello isn’t even from Mexico.
