Woolrich Woolen Mills Ricon Pullover

Taking a nice bit of inspiration from brands like Patagonia, Daiki has infused the surfing influence really nicely beyond the beach shorts and printed short sleeves. This pull over is a great spring piece that definitely lands on the casual side of the closet. I've been trying it on every couple of days since receiving a box of Woolen Mills samples and definitely would like to have one for myself. Odin is the only shop to receive the full sleeve version that I know of but their prices are suspiciously high I have to admit.

wow, that is awkwardly high. oh lordy! Amazing pullover though. I really really dig it.

This piece is specifically for those who live and die by woolrich. I can't imagine any self-serving utilitarian buying this for anything other than the label. Seriously, get a patagonia pull over (in the same style) for half the price. Where's the imagination Daiki?

It might be an great piece that'll last a lifetime, but the price is totally uncalled for. And even though the quality might be the best out there, I still don't need this. I need a good looking pullover that'll last and keep me warm, not a battle armour.

[Ulysses]

The quality isn't the best out there - not even close.

It's nice, but it's not the best in the world quality wise. I mostly posted due to the look and aesthetic, which might be the best. I'm not sure why you're referring to it as battle armour Eric? The price is a bit odd because it's well above srp.

Why can't you get a tan on your palms?

I actually found a vintage Woolrich version of this with the old sheep logo's engraved in the buttons for like $20. I do like this grey though.

It's a dead ringer (in design, at least) for the Patagonia Synchilla Snap-T Pullover ($95) and the Patagonia one is recycled and recyclable. Interesting that Patagonia has popped up in style blogs a couple of times over the past few days. A Continuous Lean posted an interview with Andy Spade last Thursday in which Spade mentions his appreciation for Patagonia not once, but twice. Good stuff!

Inspired by Patagonia? It's a darn near exact replica for a Synchilla Snap-T. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Woolrich bought a couple Snap-Ts and reverse engineered them.

when I turn 50 I will start to surf like daiki and wear retro patagonia.

[Björn]

Problem with the patagonia Snap-T is the huge fit. Otherwise its great. No one should pay crazy prices for fleeces though, wwm or otherwise.

lol so much hate in the comments! [ive always wanted to say]

[Brian Braddock]

Is it a fleece, crikey, I hope not (and doubt it)?

[jack]
