Woolrich Shirt Jacket

Woolrich dates back to 1830 and is the oldest manufacturer of outdoor wear in the U.S.A. We knew we had to dye dark given a handful of stains, so we created a textural effect of army green and charcoal. A couple of blemishes remained that we resolved with patches made from in-house dye swatches and wool herringbone tape used for research and development purposes.

The size tag is missing, but given the chest measurement, this shirt jacket fits like a small. Listed below are major measurements.
