Surprisingly, the Woolen Mills branch of Woolrich is still a little tough to find around here. While it's not even allowed to be sold in Canada, the licensing arrangements and price points leave the brand in a tricky middle ground and if you don't live in a major US city centre, you have to track it down online just like us. This fall the collection looks great again, especially the outerwear. The Woolen Mills aesthetic has been well defined with Daiki Suzuki at the helm, but he only has three seasons left with Woolrich before a new designer takes over. So if you like the more rugged, outdoorsy approach that has a certain Daiki feeling, I suggest stocking up on some of these classics. Blackbird has a small but well edited selection in store right now worth checking out. The plaid Upland, wool Pen coat and ripstop Parka are all great options that I would happily add to my closet.

The plaid vest is really nice in person.
For anyone in the NYC area, Odin has a pretty good selection of WWM stuff out already. I picked up the ranger pant in grey wool and it is by far my favorite pant of the season(trumps the EG cinch wool-denim pant for me), which is also available at the store.
This is really their best collection to date I think.
Nice, just did a post on a couple of blackbirds WWM offerings myself earlier today. I particularly like the ripstop mountain parka and IMO is one of the best I've seen from WWM
^^meant to put "one of the best garments I've seen" in there, oh well
I need some WWM in my closet.
That vest is unreal
love the plaid jacket but alas i'm going to be out of luck since i'm in canada. same problem with wolverine heritage boot selection - i've not seen it offered on their canadian website. even the ralph lauren site has canadian shipping issues.
which begs the question: has anyone ever had to emigrate just to shop?
