Cosy merino hoodie with Scandi style
The standard brushed cotton or polyester fleece hoodie is all well and good, but when the mercury starts to drop, you’ll want something warmer and sturdier. The front and hood of this sweater are knitted oversize in soft, itch-free merino then boiled down to size, creating a uniquely weatherproof fabric that’s long been favoured by sailors and mountaineers. Moss stitch sleeves and back lend a subtle texture contrast to a durable garment that’ll keep you toasty for years to come, while the laced neck gives it a Viking feel – sort of like you might be toiling at the oar of a longship rather than sat at the wheel of the van or sipping a beer by the campfire.

Amundsen clothing is named after one of the greatest explorers ever to walk the Earth. No pressure there then. In fact, the company’s co-founder, Jørgen Amundsen, is a relative of the legendary man himself, and the brand’s designs are based on classic styles from the golden age of exploration. Throw in a generous dash of 1960s Nordic ski resort chic and you’ve got a unique range of good-looking kit that’ll get you noticed in all the right ways.
However, there’s nothing old-fashioned about the way Amundsen’s gear performs. Ruggedly built from merino wool and waterproof triple-layer cotton, these are serious expedition-grade garments built for a Scandi outdoor culture – a concept that the Norwegians call ‘friluftsliv’, or ‘open-air life’. It’s the idea that time spent enjoying the freedom of the outdoors should be a core part of your life, since it enhances just about everything else. Now that’s something we can all get on board with.
