While the company itself doesn’t make any green claims about their concept (which these days is kind of shocking in and of itself), Brooklyn based Ohio Knitting Mills is now offering up some cool new-old knitwear in their Carroll Gardens boutique. (does NOS apply to clothes or just car parts?) Unearthed after several decades in storage, OKM has begun selling off items from the now long-time defunct Ohio based Ohio Knitting Mills. Apparently management over there had a bit of a pack-rat streak and had been saving samples of all of their styles for the last 6 decades or so. Most of the menswear falls into the vintage really ugly sweater category, although some of the womens’ garments do retain their fashion appeal from eras passed. It seems like since the factory closed 30 years ago, this concept can only last so long, so you’d better check it out quick.

Stumble it!
