Well worth a watch: Galen Summer's short doc on legendary Brooklyn tailor Martin Greenfield, whose work has graced the shoulders of a few U.S. presidents, not to mention the collections of Band of Outsiders, Freemans Sporting Club, and Brooks Brothers. In the video, Greenfield speaks eloquently of experiencing a concentration camp, witnessing the changing face of New York, and (of course) the complexities of suit-making. He even dishes on telling Bill Clinton he'd better wear the Greenfield suit right or he'd ruin the tailor's reputation. (Spoiler alert: He succeeded, though Bill was less fortunate, reputation-wise.)
