Based on what I have read on this forum, I scheduled a suit fitting with Martin Greenfield next week. I have not bought a suit in years. Do you think I made a wise decision choosing Mr. Greenfield to make my suits?

How did you get an appointment with MG? Just call the shop and schedule a fitting? In Brooklyn? Price points? I was under the impression you needed to be someone (ie Mayor Mike) or know someone to get in there.

The problem I see with Greenfield is that from what I hear he is not the most cooperative tailor to work with, not unlike many. I have had a similar experience with Rizzo who won't budge a inch on stylistic collaboration with the client. Even though Greenfield makes numerous different styles for other companies and Boardwalk empire, etc. It seems he wouldn't be too accepting of one small clients stylistic ideals. I know he cuts a damn nice suit (and made in the USA to boot) but I would expect the style to be a little generic/dated.
