At Gitman, craftsmanship and technology - a perfect
mix of the old and the new - go into each and every shirt we sew. More
than 80 minutes and 50 steps go into the creation of a shirt, which is made
of 25 separate pieces. Whether choosing one of the more than 1500 fabrics
and patterns from among the finest European weavers, or deciding on which
body silhouette and collar/cuff combo work best, we are constantly engaging
both ourselves and our customers with what the market demands and expects.
This is reflected in the range and depth of our collections.

GITMAN GOLD is at its core a maker of men’s dress shirts. This category is where the nuance of great shirt making is most in evidence. From the pattern making genius of the Gitman design team realizing perfect collars and fit, to the fact that we still make exact sleeve lengths, you will find art is our craftsmanship at its best in “Gitman Gold.”

GITMAN BROS. While others relegate sport shirt making to second tier factories saying “it doesn’t matter,” to Gitman it is the craft that matters. Gitman makes every woven sport shirt in our Ashland factory with the same care by the same skilled hands that make our dress shirt. A discerning customer will find the same attention to detail in a cotton flannel shirt or a short sleeve linen shirt that he finds in a 170’s 2 ply Gitman Gold shirt.

Pulled from our shirting archives, GITMAN VINTAGE faithfully reproduces certain Americana looks – washed Oxfords,
muted madras, bright plaids – but with a contemporary twist, featuring a slimmer
fit and nuanced details.

Our neckwear operations incorporate just the right balance of technology with commitment to excellence of quality, service, and value. In an era where smart phones, computers and tablets are a part of everyday life, our most critical piece of equipment is a needle and thread. A beautiful piece of silk or other fine fabric cut on the bias to insure proper drape is carefully folded and pinned by hand around the inner lining for shape, before more than a hundred hand stitches create the life line of the tie. The slipstitch holds the shell fabric to the lining but allows the fabric to move and relax; enabling a tie to be knotted, worn all day, and then taken off and return to its original shape. Hand sewn bar-tacks secure each end to prevent the slipstitch from opening. Hand sewn labels and self loops add to the ambience of a hand-made tie. Lightly steamed and shaped by hand, to avoid creasing or shining the fabric, completes the process of producing a true work of art. Each hand sewn tie has its own personality; no two are exactly the same. The bias cutting, hand sewing and pressing allows each tie to express its self.

GOLD NECKWEAR The design and manufacture of neckwear has historically been the cross section of artisan labor and laborious art. Gitman Gold Neckwear can be found at that cross section. Designed with an eye to high silk cloth constructions, and woven by the best silk weavers in Sudbury, England and Como, Italy, the ties are then skillfully made in Pilot Mountain, NC. Each is made to order according to the width demands of the market, and each is stitched with needle and thread by hand.

BLUE NECKWEAR Gitman has become the leader of the new exciting unconventional collections of seasonal neckwear. This group is called “Gitman Blue” and intends to revitalize the category of product by bringing hold new change to the marketplace.
From cashmere, wool, flannel and gaberdine and printed flannel in the fall to linen, unrefined silk, and stone washed cotton in the spring; the looks are a breath of fresh air in their new narrower shape. Ties exist to creatively express one’s personal taste; Gitman Blue escapes the ordinary.
