Spoke with the owner today. It seems they've permanently downsized due to COVID and have changed their business model to only work with existing customers. That's unfortunate as they made some really nice sweaters and I can't imagine too many other manufacturers in NYC with their quality and prices.
But I do have more contacts now than when I first started making sweater samples so there is hope that I'll find someone who can do a similar job. It won't be quick though, so please don't expect anything for this project.
Sorry for the bad news. It sucks, but hopefully the dream will continue at a later time.
I have however been working on some other pieces (trousers and coats) that seem nearly as good as I'm ever going to get them (I've spent ages on them, probably 2-4 times as long as I did on the sweaters), and I'll probably start a separate thread on them soon to gather interest.
