I just finished watching my copy of Men of the Cloth. I absolutely loved it. It brought up memories of my father who was a tailor. Everything in his workshop in our basement was on the screen. My father dressed just like the tailors showcased - with a tie, vest, shirt sleeves rolled up. Loved hearing the language.
My father spent years apprenticing in Italy before he came to the US in 1921. I am so glad I purchased the DVD. I will keep it in the family so young ones can learn of his craft. I loved seeing a suit created from beginning to end.
My father worked as a sleeve fitter for a large company in Philadelphia. He would create in his workshop at home and people would come to have suits and coats made. It gave me a better appreciation + understanding of my father's art. I was born 20 years after my sisters and I did not realize how special his work truly was as I grew up.
One of the tailors featured was local to suburban Philadelphia. I enjoyed the local connection. It ended on a positive note to see a young man learn the craft as so many tailors are getting older with few young people stepping in. A real gem of a film.
