The President's Tailor

Summary

Maxmilian Grünfeld learned to sew at 15 while mending shirts for the Gestapo in Auschwitz. Four years later, as Martin Greenfield, he was making suits for Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had liberated him from Buchenwald in 1945. Starting as a floor boy at Brooklyn‘s GGG factory in the late 1940s, Martin built a bespoke menswear empire with his sons, Jay and Tod, catering to a star-studded client list. Widely regarded as America’s greatest tailor, Martin remained the beloved figurehead of Greenfield Clothiers until retiring at 91 due to Covid. "The President's Tailor" chronicles the end of his 71-year career and the family business‘s enduring commitment to quality.
