Vermont native Stacy Barrows Manosh is the fourth generation owner of Johnson Woolen Mill, bought by her great-grandfather Delmer A. Barrows in 1908. The mill had its beginnings as one of many making fabrics from the wool of local sheep. The clapboards of the old mill are painted to read: "Founded 1842". The company's manufacturing now goes on in a more modern building next door to the original mill, which is now a company store and popular tourist destination.

Workers in the new mill do the cutting, sewing, piecing, serging, and finishing of traditionally patterned, checked, and plaid hunting clothes, all made of a material that is 80 to 85 percent wool.

Classic and durable, Johnson Woolen Mill jackets and pants have clad generations of Vermonters, from hunters to snowboarders.
