More than 10,000 pieces of never-worn vintage knitwear Made in America? After WWII, Cleveland’s Ohio Knitting Mills began putting aside a couple of copies of each design it produced for Saks, Pendleton, and even Jantzen. These plus deadstock (cancelled or returned orders) made up the treasure sculptor Steven Tatar happened on a few years back at Ohio Knitting Mills. He now is pulling from this wholly unique stock dating from 1947-74 (check out the OKM website for some mindbending examples of the one-time muscle of American knitwear manufacturing and midcentury design exuberance) for his Brooklyn OKM store.
Next Thursday, September 27 at 6:30 PM Design Within Reach (1200 NW Everett) hosts a preview sale of Ohio Knitting Mills knitwear (Tatar will be on hand) followed by a three-day trunk show.
WHAT TO DO NOW?
