Summary:

"Italians Nino Corvato, Joe Centofanti and Checchino Fonticoli are master tailors who have spent a lifetime perfecting the skills required to construct flawless custom-made suits for their clients in New York, Philadelphia and Italy, a fascinating process broken down step-by-step in Men of the cloth. Now in the twiight of their career, they fear that their Old World knowledge will vanish with them. Enter Joe Genuardi, a tailoring apprentice who reflects the resurgence of popular interest in artisanal craftsmanship as an alternative to corporate mass production, providing hope for the future of their craft."--Container.
