An American outerwear brand, Woolrich John Rich & Bros. is known for its high-end heritage pieces. Looking to ignite excitement amongst its consumers for the holiday season, the brand updated its 'Arctic Parka' line with a slew of new colors.

Included is a red version with a striped inner lining, a forest green jacket with a complementary yellow lining and lastly, a navy version with an American flag lining. Two of Woolrich John Rich & Bros.'s jackets have a classic length, which protect the wearer's torso from frigid temperatures but leave the legs exposed.

One diverges from this a little however, hitting "just past the hips for added warmth." Any wishing to purchase the luxurious Arctic Parkas and more can access them through Woolrich John Rich & Bros.'s web store.
