What is Tiger Tailor?

Tiger Tailor is a French design bureau and manufacturer specializing in individual tactical equipment. The brand primarily serves armed forces, law enforcement, specialized units and professionals requiring robust, modular equipment designed for the field.

Based in Wettolsheim, in Alsace, near Colmar, Tiger Tailor builds on expertise developed since 2006 in the design and production of individual equipment for military clients and law enforcement, with a marked specialization in rapid development based on specifications.

Key takeaways: Tiger Tailor is not an outdoor or airsoft brand. Its core business is exclusively professional tactical equipment, designed with end users and validated in the field.

An R&D approach that makes the difference

What sets Tiger Tailor apart from most tactical equipment distributors is its in-house development capability. The brand has structured a complete design cycle running from operational monitoring through to production, including rapid prototyping.

Field monitoring and conflict analysis

Tiger Tailor continuously analyzes technologies and equipment used in recent conflicts to guide its research directions. This reading of field developments allows the brand to anticipate needs rather than simply follow market trends.

Users at the heart of the process

The brand organizes weekly meetings with end users and maintains a pool of specialized testers. Lessons learned (RETEX) are integrated directly into product improvement cycles, ensuring a constant match between the equipment offered and field realities.

Rapid prototyping: CAD, laser cutting, 3D printing

Thanks to its CAD tools, laser cutting and 3D printing capabilities, Tiger Tailor is able to produce prototypes quickly, test them, and adjust them before potential series production. This production agility is a significant advantage for institutions with specific needs or tight deadlines.

Custom development: Tiger Tailor accepts developments based on specifications, can modify existing products or offer privatized production runs for units or institutions. Part of the catalog can even be anonymized upon request.

Tiger Tailor targets a demanding professional audience. The brand indicates that its equipment is used by some of the most specialized French and foreign units:

The brand is also present in Belgium and Switzerland, with Police and Gendarmerie units. This international presence validates the robustness and operational relevance of Tiger Tailor solutions beyond French forces alone.


Why choose Tiger Tailor?

In a market where generalist brands, importers and a few specialized manufacturers coexist, Tiger Tailor occupies a unique position.

Compatibility designed for French operational realities

The PolGen range is compatible with the ballistic inserts actually used by French forces: GK Pro, Safariland, Sioen, Verseidag, Paul Boyé. This is not a generic catalog translated into French — it is a range designed for the real configurations of police officers and gendarmes in service.

Textile, camouflage and ballistic expertise

Tiger Tailor also develops thermal and infrared camouflage solutions, creates custom camouflage patterns and designs special fabrics. A rare expertise that positions the brand for very specific military needs.

Responsive production, from small runs to high volumes

The Alsatian workshop handles prototypes, samples and small production runs. For larger volumes, Tiger Tailor relies on European and Asian production sites, offering flexibility suited to any type of institutional order.

Tiger Tailor in summary

A serious French brand, rooted in the real operational needs of law enforcement and military personnel. Its ability to design, prototype and produce in-house, combined with regular field feedback and proven compatibility with French equipment, makes it a reference player for any professional seeking reliable, modular tactical equipment suited to their mission.
