Woolrich John Rich & Bros. debuted their F/W ’13 "Aged to Perfection" parka collection in Berlin during Bread and Butter. They're all washed, hand stitched and treated to give them a broken in look, which means these parkas will make you look like a turn of the century Arctic explorer. But, instead of snowshoeing to the southern-most point in Antarctica, you’ll be trudging down the sidewalk. If someone asks how your jacket got so dirty, explain to them that one time a polar bear, starving due to the lack of natural prey left in the wild, jumped you while you were cross-country skiing on a glacier. After they ask you what really happened, calmly tell them that you only buy jackets after somebody else gets it dirty.
