Briefly, between 1989 and 2001 Peter Capolino oversaw the design, specifications, knitting and sale of 18-36 sweaters a year using 16 designs. No numbers of of how many of each design was given, but safe to say it was very small. They were all handmade by a woman named Norma Reichert in Maine. They are 100% wool, weigh about 4 pounds and were made “flat bed machines”.
Capolino stopped when Mitchell and Ness took off. A couple of attempts to have them made for every MLB team fell through.
