SWEATERS WITHSTANDING THE ELEMENTS

We have been manufacturing sweaters for the Danish fishermen since at least 1923. [ Read more ]

They were made to last - and to help the fishermen endure the sometimes rough & cold weather at sea.

In the 1960'es we began labelling our knits with søvandsægte - which roughly translates to "seawater-proof".

It also connotates a concept of authenticity and originality, the ending "ægte" meaning real or true.

From 2019 we began using this term again, promising to stay true to values of quality, authenticity and originality.

A FAMILY OF KNITS

S. N. S. HERNING was founded in 1919 - by Søren Nielsen Skyt. As a young man, he started selling knitwear of his own making. Today, the manufacturing is overseen by his third generation descendants.

AN ICONIC SWEATER

Since the beginning - the so-called FISHERMAN sweater has been a key design for us ( records show we made it at least since 1923 ). Depicted here is Valdemar Madsen, wearing the iconic design - in 1930.

PAST PRESENTS FUTURE

We take a lot of pride in our 100 year tradition of manufacturing knitwear. To keep making a quality product, we also have to keep being innovative, and push our machinery to it's limits. This is how we make the past present the future.
