Chong Ro Tailor

Chong Ro Tailor, also spelled Jongno Tailor, is a historic tailor shop in Seoul, South Korea. It is among the oldest active tailor shops in South Korea, having been founded in 1916. It has remained a family business since then, and is currently operated by the third generation of the family. The Seoul Metropolitan Government has designated it an Oraegage, a store of historic value, and a Seoul Future Heritage.
The store was founded in 1916, near Bosingak in Jongno District. Its founder was Lee Du-yong, whom studied tailoring in Japan. In the 1940s, the store was moved to Jongno 1-ga. It moved again in 2000 amidst redevelopment in the area, and again in 2010 to its current location.
The store makes custom suits for its customers. Over time, it reportedly became a favorite spot for South Korean politicians, including South Korean leader Park Chung Hee, Kim Du-han, Yi Si-yeong, and more.
