A new version of a timeless favorite! This wool sweater, largely unchanged since 1860 and originally made for work use, is crafted from Norwegian organic wool. The machine-knitted panels are produced in Lithuania and still sewn together by hand. Wool is a renewable material, and many wool sweaters remain their owners favorites even years latereven with a patch or two. Islender is the Norwegian term for this type of sweater, and the word refined in the product name refers to a few subtle updates. The Refined sweater is somewhat lighter than the original, making it suitable for a wider range of uses. A wool sweater works well in cool and cold conditions. On its own, its best when you dont need wind protection; layered under a shell or winter jacket, it adds a generous boost of warmth. Wool insulates even when damp, naturally resists odor buildup, and usually needs only a good airing instead of frequent washing. - Material: 100% wool - Rib knit cuffs and hem - Wool fiber thickness:
