Woolrich
1830
John Rich
Woolrich is a synonym of quality outdoor clothing for over 180 years. The company was formed by John Rich in 1830 in Plum Run, Pennsylvania, where he built his first woolen mill. He was producing woolen fabric, socks, coverlets and yearn from a mule cart. In 1845 he built another woolen mill a couple of miles away. The building can be still seen today as a part of community establishments that have become Woolrich. A legend tells that Woolrich was the first company to use zipper in men's trousers. The introduction of new high-tech materials allowed Woolrich to enhance the performance of its outdoor wear, meeting the needs of new generation of enthusiasts. Today the little village of Woolrich is still headquarters for the company but the business has grown to a worldwide lifestyle company with a full range of outdoor products from jackets and shirts to outdoor furniture. We provide all Woolrich apparel.
