Woolrich has come a long way since the early 1800s, when founder John Rich sold yard goods and socks to logging camps from the back of a mule. In 1830, he built America’s first woolen mill in Pennsylvania -- where his products quickly established a reputation for utility, function and exceptional protection from the elements. Over the intervening centuries, Woolrich has enhanced its woolens and other fabrics with new textures, dying techniques and washes -- all designed to improve performance and durability for today's demanding outdoor enthusiast. Today Woolrich is a household name in casual apparel, sporting traditions and accessories for the home. As a testament to its legendary influence on outdoor fashion, Woolrich still manufacturers one of its original best-sellers -- the ever-popular buffalo shirt in bold red and black plaid.
