The buffalo check that launched a thousand imitators. Woolrich has been making this shirt since before lumberjack was an aesthetic — red and black, heavy wool, nylon-lined, built for the kind of cold that makes your jaw hurt. This one carries the older sheep logo and the simpler label, which places it squarely in the seventies or early eighties. Red painted snap-style buttons on the chest pockets, regular buttons down the front. The wool is dense and stiff in the way that means it has decades of wear left. A shirt-jacket before anyone called them shackets.
