Seed to Sew PF Flyers and Gitman Bros. Vintage Collaborate in USA
Ah collaborations; the sweet time when two (or more) likeminded brands can come together and create something that exemplifies the best of everyone involved. We recently had the opportunity to go behind the scenes of an upcoming project between two stalwarts of American manufacturing: shirtmaker Gitman Bros. Vintage and footwear brand PF Flyers. Over the course of two years, the brands collaborated on a version of PFs Made in USA Center Hi sewn from Gitmans domestic Seed to Sew indigo denim fabric. In the video above, we chat with GBVs President Chris Olberding and PFs head of Global Merchandise Manager Chris Tobias about what each brand brought to the table as well as visit both Gitmans factory in Ashland, Pennsylvania and the New Balance factory in Boston, Massachusetts where the shoes were made.
