Gitman Bros is a men's shirt and necktie manufacturer. It is one of the few remaining made in America clothing companies.[1]
History
Based in Ashland, Pennsylvania,[2] the original Gitman Bros was founded in 1978, with a history going back to 1932 as the Ashland Shirt & Pajama Co.[3][4]
Current status
Gitman Vintage was launched in 2008.[5] Currently owned by Individualized Apparel Group, Gitman Bros is sold in 30 countries.[6]
Owing to rising costs and an insufficient volume of orders exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Gitman ceased production in June 2020; Gitman's parent company combined manufacturing with affiliate manufacturing companies located in Tennessee and New Jersey.[7] In September 2020 Brigade Industries, a federal clothing contractor, announced its intention to reopen the former Gitman Ashland operations as a contract facility.[8]
