The Situation at Pitti
Woolrich Woollen Mills, showing for the first time at Pitti in parent company WP Lavori in Corso’s brand new pavilion, featured shockingly vibrant African tribal printed camp shirts, scarves and neckties paired with khaki trousers and safari-style jackets.

From today’s morning trip to Ballard. Woolrich Woolen Mills, LVC, RRL for fall…

From Engineered Garments (the pair I just received). The cotton fabric is pretty thick and [...]

Slamxhype just posted the first images of the Woolrich WM Fall/Winter 2010 lookbook. The blue plaid Maine guide jacket and this balaclava hood in melton wool are on my to buy list, but I’m curious about the leather jacket that is shown underneath the poncho.

These older models from Spring/Summer 08 feature a small chest pocket for eyeglasses, snap button cuffs, and riveted buttons [...]
