the article mentions several brands that makes work clothes and prices them accordingly: red wing, woolrich, estex, duluth pack. however, these kinds of clothes are generally difficult to find in nyc. woolrich specifically started a division to appeal to the high end, but they still sell their lower priced clothing as well. as for labels like gilded age, engineered garments, and rag & bone, why would they make their clothes affordable? they don’t sell to that market.
from the review of the rag & bone store linked above:
My question was more about clothing brands than Estex or (the aweosme) Duluth Pack.
Red Wing has been partnered with J Crew for awhile, and I assume these are a more expensive line.
Re: Woolrich, I’m also curious if these boutiques only carry their designer partnership label or the regular catalog.
apparently you can’t deep link into the main woolrich web site shop.
and re: yr question being more about clothing brands, it appears that the extant work clothes brands sometimes start a line for the high end but not vice versa.
