BIG APPLE BUSINESS: Gambert Shirts

The L. Gambert made-to-measure shirt company began over 45 years ago when Joseph J. Gambert, purchased the Martin Freedman Company. The year was 1958. The company had a client base of 150 dealers across the country. These were all retail shops selling made-to-measure shirts. Orders were taken by choosing a collar and cuff style. Size was determined by neck size, sleeve length and body type.

After graduation from college in the 1960’s, Mel Gambert, having learned the business from his father and working in the factory throughout high school, began to improve the sizing techniques for made-to-measure shirts. The first variation was waist and hip tapering. Over the next 20 years, he added shoulder slopes, yoke sizing and postures to help improve the quality of fit. A true pioneer in the industry, Mel Gambert has proven himself to be instrumental in educating hundreds of dealers in using our system in sizing shirts.

Mel’s wife and partner for over 40 years, Lorraine, has been fully involved in every facet of daily operations. An ardent businesswoman and accomplished fashion consultant, Lorraine spent 20 years successfully running the company store before undertaking the Administration Department on a fulltime basis. She has incredible insight, both personally and professionally.

Today, Mitchell Gambert shares his parent’s passion for reaching the highest level of excellence. He has dedicated himself to learning from his father, and by working with his father they both encourage growth and new discovery. Mitch comes with an inherent talent from both his parents, and the fresh energy that is essential in achieving the highest level of customer satisfaction and keeping the shirts current with the times.

Gambert's system and patterns have successfully satisfied thousands of clients. They offer the finest selection of fabrics, interlinings and trims available and they complement their product with an excellent staff to provide the best in customer service.

L. Gambert firmly believes that in order to be a successful manufacturer, they must work together with their dealers as partners. The company statistics show that 65% of the orders that flow through the factory are repeats. It is their ambition for all their dealers to operate with the same success. Through their shared values, mutual support and professionalism, they ensure that their profit, quality and growth goals are continually met.

Peachy Deegan is looking forward to evaluating this fabulous company and Whom You Know will be covering these creations in greater detail.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
