Sustainability
Woolrich is committed to helping combat climate change and is focused on making quality products that stand the test of time. We promote the use of environmentally friendly fabrics, fibers, and practices, and are working hard to increase our use of low-impact fabrics. By designing and producing garments that are made to last, we can meaningfully offset our carbon footprint. We also make sure to provide customers with detailed care instructions, based on our own rigorous garment washing and maintenance testing, that help give our pieces a longer life.
One of our main goals is to adopt a more sustainable approach to production, and one way we do this is by tracing and confirming that the materials we work with are adhering to this as well. We're changing our focus to collaborate with partners whose materials leave a lower carbon footprint, are sourced and produced in a socially conscious manner, are recycled, and can give discarded pieces new life. We're proud to introduce you to our partners who are helping us make these changes one garment at a time.
RESPONSIBLE DOWN STANDARD
The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) describes and certifies animal welfare practices in down and feather production and tracks the certified down materials from farm to the final product. 94% of our down is certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS).

Manteco
Manteco's journey toward sustainability began in the 1940s, when its founder, Enzo Anacleto Mantellassi, gathered used military equipment from across Italy and established a recycling process to bring it back to life. Manteco uses a mechanical and wet process to shred fibers and spin recycled wool yarns without the use of chemicals. Because of their innovative solutions, Manteco remains known as a solution for luxurious sustainably-minded products.
Our commitment to Sustainability
"Woolrich is continuously working to minimize the impact of its activities and pursue environmentally friendly objectives. For this reason, we have chosen to join DHL's GoGreen Plus service, a company with which we share a commitment to sustainable choices. Through deliveries made with the DHL GoGreen Plus service, we are committed to reducing the impact of logistics operations by using SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), which reduces emissions by up to 80%* compared to traditional fuels. All-time speed that's good for the Planet.
*Jet fuel based on CORSIA guidelines prescribed by SBTI. SAF LCA values based on ICCT data assuming full life-cycle emissions of used cooking oils and vegetable oils derived from plants. "
