Details:
The Liberg Men's Cardigan is a lightweight merino wool cardigan with a regular fit that leaves comfortable room for layering without feeling bulky. A full-length zipper makes temperature control easy, while the medium-high neck adds coverage when the weather turns cooler.
J-sleeves give the shoulders a clean, structured profile, and the lightweight merino construction makes Liberg comfortable across a wide range of settings. Available in men’s sizes S–XXL, it works as a sporty mid layer, travel jacket, business-casual cardigan, or everyday wool layer.
Design Notes:
Traditional Norwegian knitting gets a decidedly sporty remix here. Liberg pairs bold blocks of Dark Charcoal, Smoke, and Red Rose with Dale of Norway’s classic eight-petal rose, creating strong visual contrast without losing the clean character of Scandinavian design.
The darker neutral foundation makes the flashes of Red Rose particularly effective, adding just enough color to wake things up without overpowering the pattern. The full-zip silhouette also changes the personality of the traditional motif, making it feel closer to a modern sport jacket than a conventional Norwegian sweater.
That means Liberg can play both sides of the wardrobe. Layer it for skiing, hiking, or a chilly weekend away, then zip it over a collared shirt or tee when the agenda becomes considerably less adventurous.
History:
The name Liberg reflects the Norwegian landscape, combining li, referring to a hillside or slope, with berg, meaning rock or mountain. It’s an appropriately rugged name for a cardigan designed to move comfortably between outdoor recreation and everyday life.
Its eight-petal rose reaches further into Scandinavian decorative tradition. The geometric motif has deep associations with Norwegian knitting and folk design, while Dale of Norway’s color blocking and lightweight merino construction give that familiar heritage symbol a fresh sporting identity.
