Warm Winter Ideas from Woolrich
For fashion that will never go out of style, try this ramsa cloth water repellent jacket and Fair Isle sweater with matching shirt. The jacket comes with a warm and comfortable light wool liner, velcrow wrist cuffs, functional pockets and a detachable hood.
The sweater is a 100% wool crew neck for those chilly days on campus. The 100% cotton chamois cloth shirt completes the outfit.
Woolrich provides fashion that's both functional and fun! For me guys there are cotton flannel shirts with a Thinsalate vest and Levi's jeans. For the gals there are Fair Isle cardigan sweaters and pajama
print flannel shirts with Poly-
cotton twill sport pants. Both outfits are functional enough for anytime and fun enough for anywhere!
