Founded in Pennsylvania in 1830, Woolrich is part of the American outdoor scene. John Rich, an English immigrant, founded his own spinning mill in Pennsylvania to sell woolen goods. As America's oldest outdoor apparel brand, the label specializes in simple and functional jackets and casual clothing. Today, it is mainly the fashionable yet timeless parka jackets, such as the Woolrich Arctic Parka, that have earned the label a large following.
