Woolrich down jackets was simple but extremely effective: create and produce an outerwear that could maintain the functionality and comfort of a sports garment.

Woolrich Parka: An Iconic Garment Victim of Counterfeiting
Such a versatile and iconic coat, of course, could not go unnoticed for long. For this reason, the
American brand Woolrich , already known for being the oldest luxury fashion company in the United States, had to deal with counterfeiters. Having become synonymous with reliability for
coats and parkas , when market demand far exceeded the company's production capacity,
counterfeiting attempts began to multiply. The Italian market was inundated with jackets, sweaters, shirts, but also men's parkas, promoted as Woolrich label products but offered at such rock-bottom prices as to arouse more than a little suspicion. This happens especially with regards to online sales by fake outlets that exclusively offer Woolrich single-brand catalogues.

One of the first indicators to understand if you are about to

fake online outlets that pass off counterfeit coats as authentic. If you find a promotion relating to a coat that costs up to four times less than the market price, it is very likely that you will end up buying a fake.
Tags and labels: what a Woolrich John & Rich Bros looks like
Another indicator to recognize the
authenticity of the Woolrich down jacket is the label on the neck: first of all, the brand must be accompanied by the registered trademark. Secondly, the writing under the brand must be examined. In fact, the label must state “
John & Rich Bros ”: if the wording were “John and Rich Bros” the coat is certainly a counterfeit. Another detail no less important, the parka must first have the Woolrich brand and then the wording “John & Rich Bros”, not vice versa. Another detail not to be overlooked is the white label sewn on the left inside pocket of the parka: it must be in the center of the pocket, and must state the words
down filled . Other formulas are certainly not of an original garment. A very important change that has been implemented by the company is the restyling of the logo, in fact since autumn 2019 on the labels of some Woolrich garments it is possible to find the new version characterized by a pattern with essential and geometric lines in black and white.

Woolrich Official Website and Authorized Retailers: How to Recognize Real Outlets
Since it is essential to pay attention to what you buy, you should also keep in mind
where you buy the Woolrich jacket you want. The ideal would be to always check the data of the online outlet and authorized retailers, if you do not buy directly from the official website: presence of VAT number, clarity regarding the accepted payment methods, and some additional information about the online shop. The ideal would be to rely on stores that clarify the history of the company, whose contact details and the possibility of contacting customer service are clear. It would be better to be wary of sites that are too new, that omit numerous data and without a clear and defined company history. In this way, you can avoid finding yourself delivered a faulty, low-quality product, with a value far lower than an
original Woolrich, with a scam price decidedly inflated compared to the real value of the goods purchased.
