As a part of the historical Woolrich\u00a0family stemming back to the early 19th<\/sup> century, the Woolrich John Rich & Bros<\/a> line presents classic American fashion but with a twist of modern style. The company has come a long way since John Rich II first opened the Woolrich Woolen Mills in Pennsylvania\u00a0nearly two centuries ago. After decades of catering to the outdoor lifestyle of the average blue-collar citizen, John Rich & Bros (JRB) helps to breathe new life into a remarkable heritage brand where practicality meets style.\u00a0With a focus on\u00a0adding\u00a0a touch of sophistication to\u00a0the style of daily life,\u00a0the\u00a0brand still manages to\u00a0maintain the defining aspects of the\u00a0Woolrich identity that was first\u00a0created\u00a0for American pioneers.<\/p>\n

We can’t be the only ones who love Buffalo Check for fall – did you know that Woolrich was the first to release this iconic print? Introduced to the collection in 1850, Buffalo Check has become a worldwide staple for a heritage look. Legend has it that the designer of this fabric owned a herd of buffalo, so he named the fabric after his beloved herd. When worn with the matching printed pant, a “Pennsylvania Tracksuit” is born – this just might rival the denim on denim “Canadian Tuxedo!”<\/p>\n

Another quintessential style from JRB is the Arctic Parka, which was designed and produced in the early 1970s. Created to outfit workers constructing the Alaska pipeline, this down-insulated parka remains a staple of the modern collection.<\/p>\n

Having recently celebrated their 185th anniversary, Woolrich John Rich & Bros<\/a> is a brand that seems to be getting better with age. As a true lover of fashion paired with function, Sporting Life is proud to provide a home for heritage pieces that stand the test of time.<\/p>\n
