The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing.

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.
