Gunnerside Sweater

The Rough Bounds Gunnerside sweater is made from 100% British wool, spun, woven and made in England. Produced in the distinctive Norwegian Fisherman’s pattern of dark blue with ecru flecks. A crew neck, ribbed cuffs and waist hem designed to keep the heat in but it will also regulate body heat when temperature fluctuates.

MARITIME HERITAGE

The Norwegian fisherman's sweater, or "Setesda," has a rich maritime history dating back to the early 19th century. Originally hand-knit for warmth and protection on long, treacherous days at sea, its unique patterns served as identification and extra reinforcement.
Today, it remains an iconic symbol of Norwegian craftsmanship, known for its durability, functionality, and timeless style.

1943

operation gunnerside

We couldn’t have a Norwegian themed pullover without linking it to one of the most significant sabotage operations of the Second World War carried out by allied forces in Norway by the Special Operations Executive (SOE).
Operation Gunnerside thwarted the Nazi’s ongoing efforts to produce an atomic bomb. It was a hazardous and risky operation which required resilience, determination and bravery. The team of SOE found themselves in a survival situation in freezing temperatures but found the resources to continue with the operation and on 27th February 1943 nine Norwegian commandos infiltrated the Norsk Hydroelectric plant at Vemork just outside Rjukan. The site was held by the Germans and the commando’s task was to blow up the waterpipes in the basement.A top-secret mission, they didn’t know at the time the huge significance of what they undertook by preventing certain disaster if the Nazi’s had prevailed and produced an atomic bomb.
