Every so often my mind will race me back to my trip to NYC this year, memories and experiences flood my brainwaves. It was during one of these periods today that I was once again reminded of just how important New York is to all of the needle trades and not just in today's world. At the height of the garment Era in New York, over 25% of the entire city was employed by the rag trade!!! Think about that for a minute, realize as well that 1/6th of the ENTIRE global working population is employed in the rag trade!! Here is an homage to that great city and the world's second oldest profession... tailoring.
