Woolrich

Past and Present of The Iconic Parka

The Woolrich Parka was created for the need to protect and keep people warm, in those areas between North Amercia and Asia, where the harsh climatic conditions require suitable clothing to face snow, rain and wind. The Woolrich brand has very ancient origins, in fact it was founded in 1830 by John Rich, the son of an English wool weaver, who emigrated to the United States and moved to Pennsylvania. Rich's choice turns out to be spot on, in fact Pennsylvania, thanks to the cold and mountainous areas, inhabited mainly by hunters and lumberjacks, turns out to be a gold mine for the weaver's business, who loads woolen fabrics, socks and yarns, going to local fields and selling them to the inhabitants and their families.
