It’s always nice to see that New Yorkers still manufacture something, and expertly so in the case Martin Greenfield whose Bushwick-based plant engineers and produces over 40,000 suits a year.

Who knows how some eBay sellers operate? Take Mr. Sausages234, who’s auctioning off a fine selection of dress shoes — some slightly “imperfect” — at a fraction of their retail price. Where does he find all these beautiful Grenson‘s, Church’s, Barkers‘, Aquascutum‘s, Crockett & Jones‘, and the like? How does he profit? Is this all street-legal? Frankly, we couldn’t care less. Now, go get yourself a new pair of shoes.
While sizes are limited, check out TheCorner.com for 50% off a nice selection of footwear and clothing. We’re really liking these N.D.C. Made By Hand distressed leather lace-ups down from $570 to $285. And because those weak raincoats from Banana Republic just don’t cut it, we’d also consider investing is this formidable Mackintosh down from $860 to $430.
