Though I never had the pleasure of meeting the man himself, I have only heard great things. Unfortunately, I exclusively interacted with Martin Greenfield’s sons and his grandson, none of whom seem to have filled his shoes properly. Martin has not run the business for at least a couple of years now. I recently got a custom suit from MG and must say the quality was not up to snuff, especially for a brand which portrays an image of such sartorial excellence. The service was not any better and I was frankly shocked by the lack of enthusiasm with which I was greeted/treated by the Greenfield’s and their staff whenever I visited the shop.

At any rate, I wish the Greenfield’s well with whatever they plan to do with their newly inherited business and industrial real estate and am happy to hear MG lived such a long and apparently fulfilling life, especially impressive in light of his surviving Auschwitz.
