Details:
The Vegard hoodie is made with Norwegian wool, one of the world’s most animal-friendly textile fibers. Our wool comes from sheep known for roaming freely in the vast Norwegian hillsides while grazing in natural pastures. This yarn offers an authentic look renowned for its uniquely crisp look and longevity.
History:
There is a note of both the 50s and the 60s in the Vegard hoodie. The design elements are amplified, featuring the classic Norwegian eight-petal rose, the cross known from the Setesdal and Cortina pattern, and the lice pattern.
“Vegard” is a Norse masculine given name meaning both “protection” and “home”. A suitable name for a warm, weatherproof hoodie strongly rooted in Norwegian design history.
