ABOUT GORSART...
It was a place for Wall Street executives to go for three-piece suits. Or for F.B.I. agents to have jackets tailored with shoulder holsters in mind. For a short time, it even sold women's clothing.
Beginning in 1921, Gorsart Clothes was a uniform store for the suit-wearing legions of Manhattan's financial district. The store, which was tucked into a second-floor loft space on Murray Street between Broadway and Church Street, quietly maintained a steady stream of male customers like bankers, lawyers and judges who wanted a certain level of personalized service, and communicated with them only by direct mail and word of mouth.
Gorsart closed it's doors forever in 2001.
