History of 66°North

The beginning of 66°North can be traced back to the mid-1920s when a small workshop was established to make oilskin clothing for Icelandic fishermen under the name Sjóklæðagerðin. The workshop grew and expanded in the next decades to produce a wider range of clothing, and the brand 66°North was first introduced in 1977.

66°North has grown much in the last decades and is now closing in on its 100th anniversary. If you want to read more about 66°North's fascinating roots, take a look at our History of 66°North and learn all about how the company evolved from a small workshop into an international brand.
