Devold's Nordsjø ("North Sea") sweater, with its distinctive chevron check pattern, is integral to Devold's history, and can be considered the original "Norwegian sweater," recognizable around the world in many iterations, including the version that L.L. Bean turned into an icon of American preppy & Ivy style.
This updated version of the Nordsjø is based on sweaters that Devold has been producing for fishermen and workers on the harsh Norwegian coast since 1853. Layered under a jacket or worn on its own, this chunky wool sweater will keep you warm in the coldest weather without overheating.
The Nordsjø is also suitable for demanding performance activities, as the high-quality virgin wool is naturally insulating, wicking, breathable, and water repellent. Wool of this type can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without compromising its ability to insulate and keep you warm.
