The J. Press Makers Series highlights the people, places, and processes behind some of our most important staples. This is the first installment:
Meet Walter. Walter has been making ties for J. Press right here in New York for fifty years. Walter came to the United States just after the Second World War as a concentration camp survivor and orphan. He quickly apprenticed himself to master tie makers, and today he brings a lifetime of traditional craftsmanship to every J. Press tie he makes. Walter represents the best of American industry – and represents our commitment to master craftspeople and time-tested techniques.
