Martin Greenfield

Martin Greenfield is the keeper of the rapidly disappearing art of handmade tailoring, crafting suits for companies like Neiman Marcus and Brooks Brothers and, once upon a time, for customers like Bill Clinton and the late Paul Newman. A holocaust survivor, Greenfield has been working at the factory since 1947 when he started as a floor boy. In the late 1970's he purchased the company and he now turns out old-school tailoring like very few others do.

Not one to live in the past, Greenfield is also working with younger, fashion-minded designers such as Rag and Bone and Band of Outsiders, who sought him out for his mastery of the art of tailoring. Martin Greenfield suits are available at both the Soho and West Village rag & bone boutiques in New York City, where trained sales staff can provide both made-to-measure and off the rack suiting.
