Hansen Normann Sweater – $458

An old-school fisherman’s sweater made from a premium wool blend with an attention to detail that is beyond compare.

The Normann Sweater from Hansen ($458) takes after the stylings of heritage Nordic fisherman sweaters, and eliminates any potential for that “itchy sweater” feeling by using an extra fine merino wool and baby alpaca blend.
