Woolrich clothes were popular in Pennsylvania because they were made right here in Plum Run - later renamed Woolrich PA.
All my family members at one time wore Woolrich hunting suits.
When I started hunting, my grandfather had just passed away and they tried to get me to wear his old hunting clothes and I refused and wore a old WW I army coat and 3 pairs of blue jeans.
As I got older, I wore that coat many times until they passed the Blaze Orange laws in Pennsylvania. I was the first person in my family to wear a All Blaze Orange hunting suit.
The company was called Ideal and was out of Sykesville PA.
The coldest clothes I ever wore. I still have the outfit, it doesn't fit me anymore.
The dumbest thing I ever did was wash my grandfathers coat in the washing machine. He always had it cleaned at the dry cleaners. Well it shrunk up and now I don't fit it no more.
You could probably put it on a 12 year old kid - it shrunk so bad. I still have the coat though.
