Woolrich Woolen Mills

"The Woolrich Woolen Mills collection is a project that stems from the passion of the rediscovery of the American manufacturing tradition, of which Woolrich still represents an actual icon; its' uniqueness is tied to the history and values of the Woolrich "working community", a town that rises and develops around the Mill's activities.

The Woolrich Woolen Mills collection is designed by famous American vintage and work-wear enthusiast Daiki Suzuki. Born in Japan, Suzuki has been living in the states since 1989 where he has worked on a number of projects, including launching his own line, Engineered Garments, in 1999. Suzuki has become known as an absolute master of all things Americana and it translates perfectly into his designs. Each style is created with functionality in mind; as in a true work-wear fashion, you will not find in these garments anything which does not have a very specific use. From fabrics and cuts to hidden pockets, everything is designed to be used -- and hard.
