The Custom Tailors & Designers Association (CTDA) is the oldest continuously operating trade organization in the United States. Founded in 1880 in Columbus, Ohio, it was established as a venue through which ideas and techniques for design, pattern making, fitting, cutting and tailoring could be shared and exchanged. Today, more than 140 years later, the organization continues to thrive thanks to the demand for high quality custom clothing. Membership includes distinguished master tailors, designers, custom clothiers and direct sellers who create fine custom clothing for discerning clients throughout the United States and the world. They are joined by Vendor Members who supply the products and services merchants need to exercise their craft.
