Born in Reggio Calabria, Italy, Natale Agostino arrived in Massachusetts in 1967 at just 16 years old, with only $1.38 in his pocket and a fifth-grade education. Determined to succeed, Natale learned English and honed his craft working for three different clothing stores.
At 19, driven by passion and ambition, Natale opened his first tailor shop in Weymouth Landing. His innovative spirit shone as he placed his sewing machine in the store window, repeatedly stitching a jacket sleeve to showcase his skills and attract customers.
Natale's dedication and craftsmanship paid off. In 1973, he expanded into suit sales in East Braintree. By 1994, his success allowed him to build a new store in Hanover. His vision for growth continued, leading to plans for a new location in Norwell.
