After the Soviet Union's collapse, Woodland expanded its market, entering India in 1992 and becoming well-known for its durable outdoor footwear and apparel. Woodland has since built a reputation for high-quality, rugged outdoor gear that combines style and functionality.

What Makes it Vintage?

• Made in Morocco

Morocco first began exporting "modern" clothes in 1978 and peaked in its production in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

• Single Tag

The double tag was common by the end of the 90s, so clothes with only one tag indicate a pre-2000s manufacturing.

• Embroidered Tag

Embroidered tags have become a trademark of vintage pieces since companies began to print tags in order to cut costs in the 80s and 90s.

• Style

Sometimes you can just tell! Vintage styles have a distinct look to them and may have fading and signs of wear. When the other facts back it up like with this piece, we can be confident in its age.

Each of our vintage pieces comes with a handwritten, customized, and strung card-stock tag of the piece's background and vintage appeal.
