Meno of the cloth

The saying goes that every man should own a tailored suit.  If it actually worked that way, the tailor suit industry would not be a dying a breed, and then there would be no film such as Vicki Vasilopoulos’ “Men of The Cloth”, which tells the story of three Master Tailors in a fading craft.

Starting in the mid-20th century, in the wake of the growth of ready-to-wear clothing and the industrialization of the tailoring trade, many of these Old World artisans had to abandon their beloved craft. Italian tailors were forced to leave their towns and even their country, and to forfeit their dreams in order to work in factories. They were casualties of the industrial advances and global economic changes which continue to the present day...  MEN OF THE CLOTH is a film about how these master tailors are navigating their challenging role in the 21st century.”
