See comments on an earlier thread by searching 'Bowmaneer'. 'A Tailor is no man', and 'It takes nine tailors to make a man' are rather old expressions. See 'Between two Foxes' in Scarce Songs 1 on my website for two short 16th century poems on 'brave' tailors, and the note following it on the "Battle of the Tailor and Louse/ Mouse", and following that, the ballad on the tailor with an inadequate yard.
