WOOLRICH BARN JACKET WITH BUTTON-OUT WOOL LINER.
MADE IN THE USA... the last of a breed, now that Woolrich has gone off-shore and closed its American plants.

Woolrich used to one of the classic American clothing companies, producing in its Pennsylvania plants wonderful field wear that did its job and looked good while doing so. Unfortunately, Woolrich closed its last plant at the end of last year, and so will no longer be Made in the USA.
Luckily, this wonderful Field Jacket dates from when Woolrich WAS Made in the USA!
Cut as a traditional Field Jacket this features two long, deep, front pockets whose flaps are made from the bottom of the handwarmer pockets that are placed above them.The jacket is fastened with heavy-duty snap featuring a classic American Indian head motif. The jacket has a leatherette collar.
The back is pleated like a bi-swing back for ease of movement, with an elasticated cincing half-belt built into the waist--the elastic is still firm and tight.
The cuffs have strap adjusters--again, secured by snaps.
This jacket features a very desirable button-in lined with a Southwestern colouring and motif; there is no fabric content listed, but this appears to be Woolrich's standard 85/15 wool/nylon blend.
This is a vintage jacket, and so it does have some minor issues commensurate with use. First, as can be seen in the pictures showing the underside of the pocket flap this has faded, although since the fading is uniform throughout this isn't really noticeable. The cuffs have minor frays, and there are the usual scuffs and blemishes from use.
Overall, then, this jacket is in Good condition, and--like any vintage American Woolrich product--is ready to give you decades more service!
Asking just $35, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA for this Made in the USA Old-School Field Jacket!
