How the sausage is made


I'd rather see suits made than sausages. The workrooms are much cleaner, at least since the Triangle days. My fellow clothing blog A Continuous Lean has visited the Ciccarrelli factory in Long Island City Queens. Although not as well known as the Greenfield factory in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn that produces for Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece, Harmon, and others, the Ciccarelli factory is the starting point for superbly made lines like the RTW at SEW and also Thom Browne, whose coats you can see here. Look for the red, white and blue lining of the coat cuff placket. ACL posted even more photos here.
