Woolrich began in 1830 when John Rich opened a woolen mill at Plum Run, Pennsylvania, selling blankets and wool goods to loggers and hunters. The business is now run from Italy as Woolrich International, majority-owned since 2018 by Luxembourg investment firm L-Gam, with Japan's Goldwin holding a stake; the Rich family exited after seven generations and the Pennsylvania mill closed the same year. Signature products include the down-filled Arctic Parka, buffalo check wool overshirts, blankets and the Woolrich Woolen Mills workwear line.

Does Woolrich run big or small?
Woolrich varies by piece. Take your usual size in outerwear if you plan to layer, but consider sizing up in knits, sweats and slimmer Italian-cut pieces — and check the specific garment's measurements, since heritage and Italian-designed lines fit differently. Since production moved to Italy, shoppers commonly report a more tailored, European cut than the old US-made pieces, so fit is inconsistent across the range: heritage overshirts and parkas stay fairly roomy and layer-friendly while jersey, knitwear and newer styles can feel closer to the body.
