At the ripe old age of 66, George Zimmer is joining the ranks of startup founders who take Uber as an inspiration.

Zimmer, best known for founding and serving as the public face of Men's Wearhouse before getting fired in a very public fashion in 2013, officially launched a new company on Monday called zTailors, which will let customers book tailors across the U.S. to come to their homes or offices and make alterations. To promote the new venture, Zimmer has borrowed the startup phrase du jour, describing zTailors as "Uber for tailors."
