Product Details

The Cortina 1956 Headband takes its pattern from the original Cortina sweater, designed for the 1956 Winter Olympics. It has the distinctive, crisp look of Norwegian wool without putting that wool directly against your skin. A full merino lining makes the inside noticeably softer, while the unisex one-size design keeps the fit straightforward.

Made and knitted in Norway, the headband uses Dale of Norway’s Plover wool quality, a proprietary blend produced from Norwegian sheep. The 33.5-micron Norwegian wool is valued for its long-lasting character and authentic appearance, while the matching Cortina 1956 sweater makes it easy to wear as part of a coordinated set. Hand washing is required.

Merino Wool Lining

Extra-fine merino wool lines the inside of the headband, keeping the coarser Norwegian wool away from your skin. The result is a softer feel against the forehead.
