The Shirtmaker

Arash Tousi’s Tailored Life

On this episode of Uncommon Interviews, we speak with Arash Tousi, an Iranian immigrant who has been making custom shirts in Austin, TX for the past twenty-five years. Sought by couture fans and average Joes alike, his workmanship rivals even the “bespoke tailors” of London's Savile Row.

Mr. Tousi has passed his craft onto his son and daughter, who work alongside him in his shop, which has stood on Guadalupe St. since 1985. We'll ask Mr. Tousi about that and more on this episode of Uncommon Interviews with your host Chuck Bazel.
