From Franco's Fine Clothier - Lakeside

The Franco’s story began in Tuscany, Italy in 1946 when a young Franco Ambrogi learned to sew from his mother at the age of 6. In fifth grade, he worked in a tailor shop, and by the age of 15 Franco emigrated to Richmond. In Richmond, Franco quickly found work in a small tailor shop, and then at a venerable southern department store chain called Thalhimers. Eventually he fetched up at the upscale specialty retailer Berry-Burk. By his early thirties, he had married his wife Ruth, started a family and began supplementing the family income by tailoring in his garage. Most of the work was alterations, but he also custom-made suits, charging around $125. READ THE REST OF THE STORY at our website.
