TAILOR MADE: THE STORY OF ROCHESTER’S
GARMENT INDUSTRY Before Rochester was known as home to giant manufactures such as Kodak and Xerox, it was a leader in the clothing and textile industry. In fact, in the late 1800s garment trade was one of the biggest employers in the city. And, in the 1890s Rochester was the 4th largest men’s clothing manufacturer in the U.S. This WXXI-produced documentary captures the fascinating story of the garment industry and the people who contributed to it. It showcases the rich history of Rochester’s clothing industry from Michaels-Stern & Co. to the Button Factory to one of the country’s oldest and most prestigious clothiers – Hickey Freeman.
