Nordic sweaters for men made from merino wool

The Joe Nordic is our modern interpretation of the classic Norwegian sweater for men. Crafted from 100% extra-fine merino wool, it combines traditional Nordic character with contemporary comfort. Clean in design, understated in appearance and made for men who value quality without excess.

With its familiar Joe fit and distinctive Nordic pattern, the Joe Nordic represents a style that doesn’t shout. It works just as well on cold winter days as it does for relaxed moments indoors or long walks outdoors. Worn with or without a shirt, in snow or dry winter air, this is a men' Nordic wool sweater you can rely on for warmth and comfort.

A Nordic jumper designed for warmth and comfort

The Joe Nordic is a Nordic sweater for men made entirely from extra-fine merino wool with a fibre thickness of 19.5 microns. The fine fibres feel soft against the skin and do not itch, setting this sweater apart from many traditional Norwegian knits made from coarser wool that can feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Weighing approximately 600 grams, the Joe Nordic is one of the warmest pieces in the collection. At the same time, it never feels heavy. The natural elasticity of merino wool allows for easy movement and helps the sweater retain its shape, even after frequent wear.

Classic Nordic pattern, calmly reimagined

The Joe Nordic takes inspiration from classic Nordic sweaters and reinterprets them in a calm, contemporary way. The pattern is clearly structured, the colours are balanced and easy to combine, resulting in a men' Nordic sweater that fits effortlessly into everyday life while preserving its Scandinavian heritage.

Within the wider Joe Merino collection, the Nordic holds a unique position. While many styles – from Henleys to V-necks and turtle neck sweaters – are available in a wide range of colours, this Nordic men' sweater deliberately embraces a traditional palette. Classic tones such as navy, red and natural wool white are knitted together in a recognisable Norwegian pattern that defines its timeless character.

The result is a Scandinavian sweater for men that feels authentic, restrained and enduring.

Available colours

The Joe Nordic is available in several carefully selected colourways:

• Joe Nordic True Navy Mix: Classic Norwegian pattern in navy, red and wool white
• Joe Nordic Jeans Blue Mix: A lighter Nordic pattern in fresh blue tones
• Joe Nordic Harvard Grey: A subtle, versatile option with a calm appearance
• Joe Nordic True Navy: A timeless deep navy blue

Each version offers the same warmth, comfort and quality. Only the character changes slightly.

100% merino wool: Everyday comfort

Like all Nordic sweaters for men by Joe Merino, the Nordic is made entirely from fine merino wool. Sourced from merino sheep found primarily in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina, merino wool is valued worldwide for its softness, comfort and natural performance.

• Naturally regulates temperature without overheating
• Breathable, supporting a balanced body climate
• Exceptionally soft and comfortable on the skin
• Durable and shape-retaining over time
• A natural, renewable and biodegradable fibre

These qualities make the Joe Nordic a men' Scandinavian sweater you will enjoy wearing for many winters to come.

Caring for your Nordic sweater

Despite its robust quality, your Nordic wool sweater for men benefits from a little care. Thanks to the antibacterial properties of merino wool, it often only needs airing overnight to stay fresh.

• Use a wool programme at 30°C, maximum 600 rpm
• Use wool detergent only, no fabric softener
• Do not tumble dry
• Dry flat
• Light steaming if needed
• Do not bleach to preserve colour

You will find additional care advice under Maintenance.

Made with responsibility

Sustainability is an integral part of Joe Merino' philosophy. The merino wool used for the Joe Nordic comes from mulesing-free sources and is processed responsibly. It is 100% natural, durable and fully biodegradable – a considered choice for both quality and the environment.
