Martin Greenfield Clothiers is a New York City custom tailor and clothing maker. Your custom suit, jacket or pant is cut and hand-tailored from scratch in our own union factory at 239 Varet Street, Brooklyn, where we’ve been making clothing since 1977. Family-run, 100% made in USA, and serving clients across the United States. Custom suits start at $1,800, tuxedos at $2,150 and sport coats at $1,450.
Hand-tailored in Brooklyn since 1977
Martin Greenfield Clothiers makes men's suits, tuxedos, sport coats, trousers and overcoats entirely by hand in our factory at 239 Varet Street in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Every jacket is built with a full canvas, with pockets, armholes and collars sewn by hand, through a process of roughly 108 steps.
Unlike most of our competitors, who take your measurements and send the order to a factory elsewhere, we make all of our tailored clothing ourselves. Every pattern is drafted and every suit, tuxedo, jacket and trouser is made by hand in our Brooklyn factory, the same workroom trusted by designers, costume designers and stylists. We are one of the few remaining factories in the United States producing fully hand-tailored suits. Our team of 65 skilled tailors and craftspeople makes every garment under one roof, in the same Brooklyn workroom where clothing has been made since 1917.
Our history
Martin Greenfield survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald and came to New York in 1947 at age 19. He started as a floor boy at GGG Clothes, in our same location, and rose to Vice President of Production, before buying the factory in 1977.
Over seven decades, Martin Greenfield Clothiers has dressed Presidents Eisenhower, Ford, Clinton and Obama, along with clients including Paul Newman, Martin Scorsese and Denzel Washington. Martin passed in March 2024 at age 95.
Today
The company is run by Martin's sons, Jay Greenfield and Tod Greenfield as co-Presidents, who joined their father in the 1980s. Martin's grandson David Greenfield joined the company in 2021 to lead the third generation at Martin Greenfield. Today our focus is on individual clients: custom clothing for everyday work and for life’s big occasions, especially weddings.
We operate as a union shop as members of Workers United (SEIU), ensuring better pay, pensions, health benefits and working conditions. Our factory has been making clothing by the same process since 1917, and our pattern archive goes back to GGG's founding in the early 1900s. As Robb Report put it, we’re “the last union shop remaining in the New York area.”
