Norwegian Wool is a luxury outerwear company based in New York.[1]

History[edit]

Norwegian Wool was launched in 2014 by Michael Berkowitz as a men's outerwear brand.[2][3] All of the coats are waterproof.[1] In 2020, the brand expanded into women's outerwear. The main manufacturing facility is located in Tuscany, just outside of Florence, Italy.[4] Norwegian Wool products are distributed in the US and Canada.

Origins[edit]

Berkowitz left his job as a physical commodities trader to start the company after looking for a particular type of coat and not being able to find one that he wanted on the market.[4] Starting as just a hobby, he soon quit his job at the hedge fund to sell coats full time.[5] Corporate headquarters are located in Midtown Manhattan.
