Our Story.

Taper Workwear started in Adelaide, South Australia.

Our founder, George Kosmidis, has had a business mindset from a young age, learned from his father. At 20 he opened his own barbershop, KOVEhair, and with a knack for innovation he decided to start a workwear brand.

Working behind the chair every day, George kept running into the same problem: loose hair on his clothes. It itched, it irritated his skin and brought out rashes, and it made long days harder than they needed to be. He went looking for a fix and couldn't find a brand making practical hair-proof workwear with pockets that actually make a barber's day easier. So he made it himself.

Taper is workwear that hair can't stick to. Every piece is hair-proof and water-resistant, so you stay cleaner and drier through cuts, washes and colour work.

Our flagship is the Studio Set: the Studio Shirt and Studio Pant. Both are made from polyester and nylon, in a true-to-size unisex fit, with practical-style pockets for your tools.

Put it on and you're covered and stress-free, ready to tackle the day and whatever it throws at you.

Created by professionals, for professionals.
