Woolrich Fashion story

Founded in Pennsylvania in 1830, Woolrich is part of the fabric of the American outdoors. Our original products mirrored the American dream: wear Woolrich to pursue your goals, regardless of the elements. What started out as woolen garments to aid outdoorsmen in tough, cold conditions, carried on to supporting engineers in the Arctic.

As America’s oldest outdoor clothing brand, we have pioneered products that have become icons in their own right. The Buffalo Check, whose name was inspired by a herd of buffalo owned by the Woolrich designer who developed its distinctive red and black pattern, has been a symbol for Americana and workwear since its inception, and remains one of Woolrich’s most powerful visual codes from season to season.
