Collection: Gitman Bros. Vintage

Gitman Bros. Vintage

USA

In 1932, Brooklyn based shirt-maker Max Gitman left New York and opened the Ashland Shirt & Pajama Company in the coal mining town of Ashland, Pennsylvania. With his two sons, Alfred & Sheldon, he ran the factory as a contract shop until 1978 when the Gitman Bros. brand was born. Today, they are one of the few remaining shirt-makers with all their production based in the USA. Launched in 2008, Gitman Vintage pays tribute to the brand’s rich heritage with a unique interpretation of the past. Each season, they return to the company archives and select fabrics from old line books, tweaking them with dyes and reworking patterns, scale and construction. Many of their sewers are third and fourth generation shirt makers and their collective expertise is always Gitman's most valuable asset.
