Provenance Note Woolrich, founded in Pennsylvania in 1830, is America?s oldest outdoor clothing company, known for pioneering rugged woolens that became staples of American workwear and outdoor life. The early sheep label, used from the 1940s into the mid-1950s, depicts a realistic standing sheep against a dark background. By the late 1950s, Woolrich shifted to updated labels, making the early sheep tag highly collectible. Garments with this label are considered more authentic and valuable to heritage collectors, representing the golden age of Woolrich production. Style Aesthetics ? Heritage Americana workwear ?
