NEW YORK

"We've got a product the fellas gotta have," said Jay Greenfield, co-owner of Martin Greenfield Clothiers.

From there, they worked closely with the movie's costume designer to age the pieces, further giving them an authentic look.

From film to some of the most famous high profile public figures: Mayor Bloomberg, Commissioner Kelly, Colin Powell and Bill Clinton, they have dressed them all.

That's Martin, in his 80's, here five days a week, always dressed and still very much apart of this process. His son says the hardest worker in the place, proud of what he has built.

"It takes about 85 operations to 100 operations to make one jacket," said Martin Greenfield, founder of Martin Greenfield Clothiers.

Gives you an idea what it took to make this black suit jacket, one of dozens the Greenfields worked on for the upcoming remake of the 1981 comedy "Arthur".

"It was really challenging to make clothing for someone as modern as Russell brand and yet have an elegant settle row English background," said Jay Greenfield.

The men hope to be involved with other major projects and continue serving their private clients, changing how we look one suit at a time.
