@woolrich—whose fabrics went into everything from blankets for Union soldiers to its popular buffalo-plaid flannel shirts—will no longer be made in America.⠀
⠀
The storied brand's woolen mill in Woolrich, Pa., is shutting down for good after nearly two centuries. Woolrich won't cease to exist. In fact, the company says its sales are strong. But it will no longer have any manufacturing in the United States. And for its workers, so much else is lost.⠀
⠀
"It felt like everybody had a family member that worked at Woolrich," said weaver Dan Campbell.⠀
⠀
A cradle-to-grave employer, @woolrich handed out personalized blankets to workers to mark a child's birth and still gives out free turkeys at Thanksgiving. The company owns 3,500 acres of land used by locals for hunting, fishing and hiking. There was a community center with three bowling alleys and a grocery store, and company homes built by workers to keep them employed during the Great Depression.⠀
⠀
"Woolrich was a real Norman Rockwell town," said Shawn Bianchi, who worked for the company for nearly four decades.⠀
⠀
For nearly 200 years the company was controlled by descendants of founder John Rich, a master wool carder from England, Over the past few years, family members ceded control to the owner of an Italian company that for years had licensed the brand in Europe. This fall, the owner sold her stake to a private-equity fund—sealing the mill's fate in the process.⠀
