Details:
Liberg is a lightweight men’s merino wool sweater with a comfortable regular fit that makes layering easy without adding unnecessary bulk. The quarter-zip medium-high neck adjusts for extra coverage or ventilation, while J-sleeves give the shoulders and arms a clean, streamlined shape.
Available in men’s sizes S–XXXL, this versatile mid layer is light enough to wear beneath a ski jacket yet polished enough to stand on its own. From skiing and hiking to travel, weekends, and business casual, Liberg handles a surprisingly busy social calendar.
Design Notes:
Liberg takes one of Norwegian knitting’s most recognizable motifs and gives it fresh sporting energy. Blocks of deep Marine and crisp Off White create a classic Nordic foundation, while Raspberry accents punch through the palette with an unexpected flash of color.
At the center of the design is Dale of Norway’s iconic eight-petal rose, a geometric motif strongly associated with Norwegian decorative knitting traditions. Rather than treating the pattern as something precious or nostalgic, Liberg puts it to work in a lightweight merino sweater made for an active modern wardrobe.
The quarter-zip silhouette adds to that easygoing character. Wear it zipped high on a cold morning, open at the neck for après-ski, or peeking out beneath a winter jacket. This is Norwegian heritage that fully intends to leave the house.
History:
The name Liberg is rooted in the language of the Norwegian landscape. Li refers to a hillside or slope, while berg means rock or mountain, giving the sweater a name that feels naturally connected to skiing, hiking, and life among Norway’s rugged terrain.
Its eight-petal rose carries another layer of Norwegian identity. The geometric motif has deep associations with traditional decorative knitting, while Dale of Norway’s bold color blocking and streamlined merino construction move that familiar pattern into contemporary sport and everyday style.
