This 'chukka sweater' from Amundsen is actually a rugby shirt. Not the fitted polyester things they wear these days, but the cosy old-style jerseys that have always been just as popular off the pitch. Worn for gardening, climbing, sailing, dog-walking or just tinkering in the shed, a good rugby shirt will see more use than just about anything else in your wardrobe. And this one from Amundsen is a VERY good rugby shirt, with rubber buttons, ribbed cuffs and a soft cotton jersey knit. And because Amundsen like to be a bit decadent, they've switched in a plush corduroy collar and chest pocket for extra comfort.

Amundsen Sports 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.
