History:
The Moritz design was inspired by the official sweater created for the 2003 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland, connecting Norwegian knitwear craftsmanship with one of Europe’s legendary alpine destinations. St. Moritz has a long association with winter sport and alpine culture, making it a fitting namesake for a sweater that blends performance-minded construction with refined mountain style.
Reinterpreted for everyday wear, the Moritz carries that championship-era ski heritage forward in a design that has become a long-running Dale of Norway bestseller.
