I checked out the Ohio Knitting Mills store in Brooklyn last Sunday. The cool thing about this little shop is that it sells “never worn, one-of-a-kind true vintage heartland made” knitwear pieces. I bought a bright multi-coloured wool cardigan circa 1956-1962 for just under $200 US. Now you could walk into any vintage clothing store & buy a similar piece for a tenth of this price, even less. But the great thing about the Ohio Knitting Mill items are that the integrity of each piece is 100% intact. It’s brand new vintage! No holes. No pilling. No wear. No stretch. No odd smell. If you ever find yourself on Smith St. in Brooklyn and you enjoy vintage style circa 1947-68, then I highly recommend checking this place out. Even if it’s just to have a look. It’s kind of like a museum of sorts. A little bit of fashion history. With a very knowledgeable fashion historian on staff. I didn’t get her name but the girl who was working had an incredible depth of knowledge about vintage style and could tell you a story about most of the pieces on display/ for sale in the store.
