Thanks for posting, I think I've come across this family before, unfortunately I lost my data on a computer crash a few years ago, I'll see if I can dig any thing out on the various genealogy sites that I've subscribed to in the past.
I haven't come across any tailors in the family yet. In France they teach their students to say my tailor is rich" never thought about it being a reference to jewish tailors but possible, or maybe its a joke about the french chic! Just a thought.
