The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

The Company was founded in 1977 by Martin Greenfield when he bought the factory from his former employer, GGG Clothes. Mr. Greenfield had joined GGG in 1947 as an entry-level floor boy, ultimately rising to Vice President of Production before buying out his former employer. Initially structured as a traditional manufacturer, currently, Martin Greenfield Clothiers is focused on a hybrid approach. We construct garments to meet the requirements of innovative designers, specialty retailers, costume designers, stylists and individuals. We hand craft the finest made-to-order as well as made-to-measure suits, tuxedoes, sport jackets, slacks, and overcoats 100% built by hand in our 1917 Brooklyn Factory. Martin's sons Jay and Tod Greenfield joined their father in the 1980s and the trio currently manages the Company. We keep our focus on production, not promotion, creating garments with built in intrinsic value. Martin Greenfield Clothiers continues to operate as a union shop out of its 1917 location in Brooklyn. Believing in fostering strong ties to the surrounding community, Mr. Greenfield was instrumental in founding the East Williamsburg Valley Industrial Development Corporation.
