Our Heritage
In the roaring twenties and soon after The Great Depression, several great shirt makers, mostly first generation immigrants, banded together to move en masse out of New York and away from its urban problems, high costs and rackets. They decided upon a rural area about four hours outside of New York City in Pennsylvania, either in or around Schuylkill County. Among them was Max Gitman, a Brooklyn native who moved his family and business to the coal-mining town of Ashland and established the Ashland Shirt & Pajama Company in 1932.
The speciality that ensued was the foundation of a precise and special kind of shirt making dictated by the largest customer to these factories during their early years, the U.S. military. This resulted in the development of a new type of dress shirt that was softer and more comfortable while remaining durable, dependable and low maintenance.
“The speciality that ensued was the foundation of a precise and special kind of shirt making.”
Alfy and Shelly Gitman were the twin sons of Max Gitman and joined their father’s business in 1950. Shelly ran the cutting room and the front half of the factory and Alfie ran the finishing area and the back half of the factory. Their presence and precision produced a pristinely cut, sewn and packaged product that overwhelmed customers with the meticulous attention to detail.
“The level of precision used to make the Gitman shirts and the scrutiny each garment came under by the brothers themselves led to a very special factory culture that endures to this day.”
The factory remained a contract shop, making private label shirts for the most prestigious haberdashers in the USA, until 1978, when a band of young sellers, who loved and wore the product, proposed to Alfy and Shelly that they take the shirts directly to the market under their own label. And so, the Gitman Bros. brand was born.
