The Story

Travel to, and amidst, majestic mountain environments has offered skiers a sense of freedom and wonder since Scandinavians first strapped wooden planks to their feet in Norway during the late 19th century. During the early advent of skiing as a mode of travel and then throughout is transition to 19th and 20th century winter sport, a proper ski sweater was considered standard equipment for mountain adventures due to its technically advanced woolen fibers which offered warmth, comfortable range of motion, and natural moisture wicking characteristics.

During the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s knitwear offered skiers a versatile expression of performance and style packaged in a traditional aesthetic born from the rich and storied heritage of alpine sport. Adopted by alpine guides within mountain locales from Aspen to Chamonix, such classic knitwear garments are respected for tried and true characteristics delivering winter-ready protection.

"Wear it around the chalet, or wear it as a mid-layer while you fly down double-blacks — it’ll look and feel great all the same"

Beautiful sweater and great customer service!

I bought this for my adult son for his birthday, to take skiing and wear otherwise. Despite skiing for years, neither my husband nor I had heard of this brand. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality—unique, with exceptional detail—and with the customer service. When the large arrived and uncharacteristically was too big for our son, Nick was extremely helpful in guiding the return and exchange for the medium which was on pre-order. The medium is a perfect fit, and our son loves it! Definitely plan to order from this shop again; highly recommend.

Super warm and stylish

The rare item I order and my wife approved after trying it on. I wore it out in Deer Valley for a non-ski afternoon. Very warm decently fitted. May try to paid with pants. It took a while to arrive but well worth the wait. I typically wear XL that was the correct fit.

He loves it

I bought this for my boyfriend who is an avid skier and hiker. It's very high quality and not something that he would have bought for himself. He appreciates the casual expensive style.
