First of all, I have to admit to the pang of jealousy I suffer whenever you mention another NY-area museum. Wandering through museums, big, small, oddball, whatever, is something I love doing. Houston has some fun ones but nothing like those you have close by.
Secondly, this was such a neat entry. I had no idea what went into the whole process. I walked through the Garment District many times (traveling from Penn Sattion to my father's office in Rockefeller Center, and the Port Authority to MSG) but I've never really given much thought to what went on behind the scenes. Thanks for the peek behing the (probably pleated) curtains.
Paul, What a wonderful post on PLEATING. I have always been a fan of the "behind the scenes" of how things are made and your post captivated me. How lucky you were to land the gig. Fondly, Michael
Grand Central's a Terminal, not a station. Tracks end at termini and pass through stations. GCT's tracks are numbered "right to left" when facing the platforms, hence the backward progression on the signage. Why it's right to left...no idea.
Fascinating! I've sewn dresses and skirts with minor pleating and that does involve just pinning and ironing. I had no idea how pre-pleated fabric was created.

Very first line, you’ve got “Garmet” (sic) which I think is a typo for Garment
Ay yi yi. Thanks, Mike. Fixed!
