GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Layer in a piece of New York retail history with this Ohrbach's quarter zip pullover. The company opened its first store on Union Square in 1923 and became known for moderate-priced clothing and accessories. From its West 34th Street flagship to California stores and suburban branches, Ohrbach's followed the changing geography of American shopping. Its name still resonates with department-store collectors and local-history enthusiasts. This piece honors a retailer whose story bridged city-center destinations and growing communities.
Ohrbach's began on October 4, 1923, when Nathan M. Ohrbach and dress manufacturer Max Wiesen opened a store in a fire-damaged New York City building on Union Square. After a dispute, Ohrbach opened a nearby second store and bought Wiesen's interest in 1928. The moderate-priced retailer emphasized clothing and accessories, including ready-to-wear sold in volume, and later added men's and children's goods. In 1954, its flagship moved to West 34th Street, across from the Empire State Building. The company expanded after World War II, opening California buying offices and stores, including a Miracle Mile location in 1948 and branches in downtown Los Angeles, La Mirada, Panorama City, Cerritos, and Glendale. In 1962, Netherlands-based C.&A. Brenninkmeyer acquired an interest and eventually took full control; Nathan Ohrbach retired in 1965. The chain later came under holding company Amcena. In June 1986, Amcena acquired Howland-Steinbach and announced Ohrbach's closure. The remaining New York and New Jersey stores closed in January 1987 and reopened under the Steinbach name two months later.
