We work hard to deliver a range of products that uphold our longstanding reputation as the foremost manufacturer of shirts and ties in the USA. Our garments combine the finest fabrics with unparalleled construction and finishing.
Hand shaping and slip stitching insures each tie will drape and knot properly, maintaining the perfect shape throughout its life.
Hand Sewn Details
Hand sewn bartacks, labels and loops, along with careful hand steaming, complete our time honored process.
Fine Fabrics
We design and color our fabrics with the world’s finest weavers to create a perfect blend of form and function.
More than a hundred hand-stitches create the lifeline of a Gitman tie, giving it the perfect drape while allowing the fabric to move and relax.

Inside Our Process
Receiving
Each bolt of fabric is carefully inspected for color, pattern and quality then measured for accuracy before being cataloged and stored.
Cutting
The three pieces of fabric that make up a tie are cut on a 45 degree bias to ensure each tie will drape properly when worn.
Finishing
The numerous hand processes used throughout our manufacturing process require months of training to become a proficient operator.
Inspection
Each tie is carefully reviewed and clipped of excess thread before being lightly steamed and shaped by hand.

Featured Fabrics
Silk
A coveted commodity for thousands of years and a mainstay of our neckwear collection, there is no other fabric that can replicate the smooth sensation and intense color of a pure silk tie.
Wool & Cashmere
Autumn brings a desire to express color and texture beyond just silk. We utilize the soft and luxurious character of wool and cashmere, sometimes blended with silk, to reflect the essence of cooler seasons.
Cotton & Linen
Spring requires a lighter and brighter expression of the season. Here, we turn to cotton and linen, or blends of each with silk. The execution results in beautiful ties that can be worn throughout the warmer months.
Our ties are available in a variety of widths and lengths to suit your personal preference and physical stature.
Width
The width of a tie is measured directly across the tie at its widest point. When choosing the correct width, the general rule is that the widest point of the tie should be about equal to the widest point of your suit lapel.
Length
The length of a tie is the measurement taken directly from one tip to the other. Choosing the correct length is less of a stylistic decision and should be determined by your height and collar size.
This size is unavailable, but we can custom order it for you. The shirt will be made at the same price, with the specs you requested, and will arrive within 4-6 weeks.
We are, and will always be, a boutique shirt maker rather than a mass producer. Try our made to order program which allows you to choose from a selection of fine fabrics and customize our shirts, ties or trousers with a range of style and fit options. Interested in a made to order shirt? Learn More.
