Woolrich

[nino]

Ok whats the deal with Woolrich. I see a ton of cool stuff in Japanese and Euro stores but when I check the US website they are nowhere to be found. Here are some examples:

Do they have a Red Wing type thing going on where the good stuff is only offered to Japanese/Euro markets. Is foreign Woolrich a seperate entity? Can someone shed some light on this?

They are different. The euro/japanese is also more expensive rather than in the usa its rather cheap. They have really different lines.

i have a woolrich artic parka that sees me through winter. It's nice because it keeps you really warm but it's still kinda fitted and doesn't look boxy at all.

I thave heard that Japanese buy license from some conpanies to produce their own stuff or some companies make them only for European and Japanese market but they are not allow to sell anywhere else.

The Woolrich European line designed by Daiki Suzuki is set to launch in North America in 2008, I imagine after a rebranding of the line here.

Re. The Tielocken jacket, it's been done better by Yoko Devereaux for their FW 03 (?) season. The black cashmere version was really, really nice. Unfortunately, that line has not really lived up to it's promise...

sorry to bring this old thread back up, but i dont think noobs are allowed to make new threads unless they're masochistic turds who like their e-testicles pulled out.

this was on high snobiety and it refers to colette, but i only found the picture of the hoodie. i really want to see the hoodie in person. anybody know anything about it?

[caughtinthered]

Seriously, this stuff looks great. I remember seeing woolrich bedding in kmart and thinking how sweet it would be to sleep on it, but didnt end up buying it b/c i already had new bedding, but now with these peices, id buy in a second, not only do they look great, but must be comfy as hell

I've already looked. i spent like 4 hours on that site. I couldn't figure out how to look at the catalogue until I misclicked. Apparently you have to flip the pages of the catalogue with your mouse. And still no hoody!!#$@!@#

still no n. american stockists though

I think what you meant was still no american stockists. I'm not quite sure tho. But if so, yeah that's true. I wonder if it would be possible to obtain the hoody online.

their best stuff is the workwear from the 1950s-1960s, which is well flooded on ebay in vintage form. ive gotten a lot of stuff that they've simply reissued for other markets on ebay. also, in new england (esp north of mass) every thrift store has the best woolrich gear tagged for like $10.

[timpoblete]

The only American stockist I know of so far is Bergdorf Goodman in NYC, according to the men.style.com Fall buyers guide (http://men.style.com/fashion/style_notes/072707, click through to Bergdorf). They posted the following piece:

Can't say if they will have the hoodie.

On another note, they have been distributing in Europe and Japan only to this point, and they will be distributing more widely in North America in 2008 (per LA Guy above), with Gary Drinkwater's (www.drinkwaterscambridge.com) as a likely stockist on top of BG.

yeah i remember seeing that plaid jacket thingy on menstyle. but dang $720 is way too overkill. even at a 50% discount it's overkill. i hope the hoodie isn't that much.

[n0torious]

Wow...that's awesome. I want one.

A lot of good vintage Woolrich stuff turns up at thrift stores with some frequency. I prefer the old shit to the bougie new stuff. I found this coat recently:

[n0torious]

Yea my dad had some 70's vintage pieces he handed down to me...way too small though. Sucked.

[Guest]

That's where I found my Woolrich items. I have a couple of jackets and sweaters, great for camping.
