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 Covid Gitman ceased production in June 2020. Individualized Gitman's parent combined manufacture 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.
