Varusteleka Nordic Wool Sweater, Light Brown

This is the traditional sweater that you want to take along into the wilderness. The shadows grow longer, the wolves howl in the distance, and the sweet smell of campfire smoke is bound to the very soul of the wool garment. It is good to venture beyond the Arctic Circle when this ruggedly handsome sweater shelters you from the frozen northern nature. Made in Finland from Finnsheep wool. The land that invented cold.

• Thick and warm like a hug from a bear
• High turtleneck collar
• Tough elbow and shoulder reinforcements
• 100% Finnish wool
• Undyed natural brown color
• Made in Finland

In short, this is a very warm old-time sweater, the type used by hunters, fishermen, and other outdoorspeople. That lovely thick and coarse wool that smells of lanolin, which you seldom see in the stores these days. There are no trendy colors or bright patterns, just undyed brown wool and functional cut. The shade may vary slightly, even in one shirt, creating a cool effect when you look at it up close and personal.

Use

This isn’t one of those civilized sweaters you wear to a hipster bar or your mother-in-law’s birthday party. This untamed garment is happiest far away from the civilization where you carve your own paths and on the stormy northern seas where the winds decide your fate. It is perfect for hunters, hikers, bushcrafters, and tall, dark rangers from the north. The cold and harsh land is a better place to be when your upper body is wrapped in proper Finnish wool.
