Nordic style creates a cozy winter mood

This Nordic-patterned vest from Harley of Scotland is lightweight and warm, knitted with soft yarn. Compared to a plain knit, the pattern around the collar acts as an accent, effectively balancing the overall look. Nordic sweaters often feature wintery motifs like snowflakes and reindeer, which can evoke a nostalgic feeling depending on the color scheme. However, this Nordic-patterned vest, crafted by a long-established brand that continues to produce high-quality, traditional Shetland and Fair Isle knitwear with beautiful colors, is fashionable and attracts attention every year.

Lightweight and Soft Sweater

Shetland wool, the wool of sheep that feed on the legendary seaweed of the Shetland Islands, is exceptionally light, warm, and boasts vibrant colors thanks to its harsh environment. Its beauty is unmatched. Due to the strong winds of the North Atlantic, there is almost no pasture on the Shetland Islands, and the island's sheep are raised on seaweed. The wool from these sheep is then blended by a long-established mill founded in Scotland in 1798, boasting a rich variety of over 100 colors available for each season.

Harley of Scotland has also adopted the whole garment method since its founding and is one of the few knitwear manufacturers still in operation today.

The brand's signature fully fashioned sweaters are seamlessly knitted (circular knitting) with no seams on the body or arms, resulting in a comfortable, smooth feel. The long-pile yarn provides excellent comfort and moisture retention, while remaining so light you'll forget you're wearing it.

Easily laundered at home, they retain their shape, and are a long-loved classic knitwear with excellent value for money.

This Nordic-patterned vest features an all-over knit pattern, making it a truly wintery piece. This dark-toned knit adds a pop of color to otherwise muted winter outfits, and pairs well with voluminous skirts and denim pants, making it a favorite among people of all ages. It's not as thick as typical wool knitwear, so it's comfortable to wear even under an outer layer without feeling bulky. In the fall and winter, when darker colors tend to prevail, we recommend wearing layers with vibrant colors underneath. This versatile piece will inspire you to explore winter streets with a touch of lightness and a bold color.

This Nordic-patterned vest brings a seasonal touch, warmth, and coziness, so make it a staple item this year and enjoy the season.


Harley of Scotland is a long-established Scottish knitwear manufacturer founded by Peter Harley in 1929. The brand's origins date back to the traditional, beautifully patterned sweaters that Peter saw during his voyages in Orkney, Shetland, and Fair Isle.

For hundreds of years, sweaters made in the lands from Shetland to Fife not only provided comfort and warmth, but each sweater pattern had a special meaning, recognizing the people who worked the unpredictable northern seas. Inspired by these traditional, beautiful patterns and colors, the brand proposed lightweight, soft sweaters suitable for everyday wear.

Then, in the 1980s, Hurley began importing beautiful merino wool from Italy and producing sweaters in Fair Isle, one of its current key markets, that combined traditional styles with even greater lightness, warmth, and softness.

Today, in addition to its original designs, the company designs for private brands and retailers, and produces seamless knitwear using the latest technology, providing high-quality wool clothing for three generations.

Harley of Scotland sweaters are simple, timeless knitwear that continues to be loved by people of all ages and genders. Made from a low gauge (thick yarn), these sweaters have just the right thickness and volume, making them a useful item that allows you to enjoy a simple yet eye-catching style whether you're wearing them under an outer layer or not.
