Nathan Turk, one of the master tailors of Hollywood and the epitome of an Old World gentleman, crafted beautifully made garments for the movie crowd and riders of the Rose Parade for over 50 years at his Ventura Blvd shop in the San Fernando Valley. Working with his wife and son-in-law, Nathan embroidered exquisite shirts and suits for everyone from Hollywood cowboys like Tom Mix and Gene Autry to A-List celebrities and musicians. After closing the business in the late 1970s due to health reason, the famed designed "Manuel" purchased most of Turk's equipment.
