A queen among fleeces
This Field Fleece from Amundsen has about as much in common with your average fleecy mid-layer as a custom-build Aston Martin does with a Toyota Yaris. The Italian-made fleece is 39% virgin wool, the knitted cuffs and round collar are pure merino, and the reinforced patches on the yoke and forearms are wax cotton canvas from the 150-year-old Halley Stevensons mill in Dundee. Hell, even the press-stud buttons are specially made in Switzerland. And if all that sounds a bit too much like a glossy M&S ad ('this isn't just a fleece, this is an Amundsen fleece...'), the Field Fleece genuinely is a great bit of kit. It's warm and hardwearing, looks ruggedly handsome, and the waxed cotton panels will build up a distinguished patina over time

- Manufactured Locally: Made in Portugal
Amundsen clothing is named after one of the greatest explorers ever to walk the Earth. No pressure there then. In fact, the company’s co-founder, Jørgen Amundsen, is a relative of the legendary man himself, and the brand’s designs are based on classic styles from the golden age of exploration. Throw in a generous dash of 1960s Nordic ski resort chic and you’ve got a unique range of good-looking kit that’ll get you noticed in all the right ways.
However, there’s nothing old-fashioned about the way Amundsen’s gear performs. Ruggedly built from merino wool and waterproof triple-layer cotton, these are serious expedition-grade garments built for a Scandi outdoor culture – a concept that the Norwegians call ‘friluftsliv’, or ‘open-air life’. It’s the idea that time spent enjoying the freedom of the outdoors should be a core part of your life, since it enhances just about everything else. Now that’s something we can all get on board with.
