Just checked the Woolrich site for any after Christmas deals. Unless I have been on the wrong Woolrich site there are no more hunter style clothing. All urban type styling for yuppies. Gone is the Malone pants, shirts etc. Gone is the maroon/black traditional wool hunting coat and the railroad type vest. When did this all happen or is there another site ?

Thought I just saw another post about Woolrich and how they had been bought by a European country and had raised their prices to align with prices overseas. I thought that poster said they still had some of the plaid hunting clothing, but prices were in the $400 range. But that could've been another forum.

Your are correct with the pricing. WAYYYYY over priced & in the $300-500 range for yuppie type clothing. Looks like the real Woolrich days are over.

Their trademark wool hunting coat is gone replaced with patched on big button down pockets. Would have liked to have gotten another RR wool vest for down the road or Malone wool shirt.

Mr Ed, I see woolrich vests on Amazon. Its called utility #12, is that the one you are looking for?

I still have my Malone pants that I bought in Montana in 1978.

Too bad to see them go.

Just like LL Bean, Outsourced overseas. I buy used at auctions, garage sales and Ebay.

Yeah, I caught wind of this change of ownership by Woolrich back in July when I purchased a red chamois/flannel shirt as a 16th B-Day gift for my son. When I was 16 I was gifted a hand-me-down red Woolrich chamois/flannel shirt and I still have it. I affectionately refer to it as my "Deer Hunting Eve Shirt" as I have worn it on every Deer Hunting Eve (the day before rifle season opens) FOR 30 YEARS. Yes, it still fits.

So when my oldest son turned 16 about 3 years ago, I bought him one. I was impressed to see that his was EXACTLY like mine. Every stitch, the cut of the collars - everything was the same. Okay, mine is a bit faded. As my youngest boy was turning 16 in July, I returned to the clothing store to buy his. While the lady was ringing up the sale I told her the significance of the purchase. She then asked me if I had any younger kids who would also be needing one down the road as Woolrich has be bought out by some European business, etc., etc.

Sad deal. I'm sucker for tradition and a huge fan of high-quality gear. Looks like we will have one less option available.

Sold out and moved out of the little town of Woolrich, PA years ago.

If you want made in the USA wool clothes, go to asbellwool.com. He's the fred asbell of Bighorn recurves fame. Just an all around good guy as well.

Or Filson wool , made In The USA still

I have their Double Mackinaw Cruiser I bought thirty-five years ago and it's still going strong. They make the same coat today but it will set you back around $500.00. Johnson Woolen Mills makes quality stuff as well.

Real heavy wool duffle is very expensive to buy now,around $80 a meter.But it is the best lining for moosehide mitts and mukluks.

Filson MIGHT still be making wool in the US,...I know some of their other stuff is not.

It's ALL expensive though, why the synthetic stuff has taken over, but even that has gone way up, and it won't last for generations either.

I checked on Amazon. Looks like some dealers have a few items left in some sizes. Will be checking with Johnson wool now. Not to far from me.
