Anyone been to the Woolrich website recently? I own two older Alaskan shirts. Went on their website to look for one of their Classic Stag shirts as well as to see if they still carried the Alaskan. I just about fell over when I saw the prices. Anyone know what happened here? Different strategy I guess. So sad that these classic wool companies are selling stuff that the average working man can't afford anymore.

My wife gave me a Woolrich Alaska shirt for Christmas a couple of years ago, a replacement for an ancient one that I "outgrew". This one was made in CHINA!!! and has snaps instead of buttons. Still, cost about $100. Now, in addition to that model, they offer an American-made one (with buttons) for almost $70 more! Don't like the snaps, but I did practically live in it during deer season last year. Sad to see what has happened to so many old and trusted brands.

I was going to tease you for whining about modern prices.....until I went to the website.
Frogsnacks!
Looks like Woolrich aint for outdoorsmen any more.
Hipsters and Lumbersexuals now.
Those prices are high.
I am MAGA.

Normal price for quality x becomes popular with yuppies = great products Hundred!
Herman Survivor and Carhart come to mind quickly.
Another boot company I liked, but can't remember.
The heterosexual set live the rugged image, and their perceived snob appeal
of the high quality products. (They will never need that toughness, they just hope to absorb it)
Once the company realizes who us buying a lot of the product, the price goes up.
Then, when they realize theses gym hardchargers will throw it put before it even starts to
fade, quality drops.
Carhartt is in the middle of this.
They still make the best t shirts I can buy for the money,
But the money has jumped way up, and quality has fallen.

Dillonbuck, you make some excellent points here. It seems if I REALLY like something now, that is kind of a classic, I should buy two or three of them. They're bound to change quickly now.

That's the downfall of L.L. Bean. The went for the yuppies and forgot the hunters that kept them going for decades.

Top quality wool is not cheap. Egli's Sheep farm west of Dryden has some good wool clothes. [img] https://eglifarm.com/[/img]

I believe the libs call that cultural appropriation. and I believe we're supposed to be "triggered' or something? #unsureHowI'mSupposedToReactBecauseI'mNotaLiberal
