Gift ideas for Dad – merino wool gifts
Why is a merino knit sweater from Oulu a great gift for dad?
A merino knit sweater is a gift he will wear for years. All North Outdoor merino knit sweaters are made in our own knitting mill in Oulu from high-quality merino wool yarn, so they keep their shape through wear and washing. If you're not sure about his style, choose black, grey or navy.

A warm and good-looking wool sweater! I bought this lovely colored wool sweater for my husband as a birthday gift. He really likes the sweater – it is warm and looks good.
I bought it as a gift for my partner and yes, wonderfully soft and warm - perfect
My spouse liked receiving this as a gift; it suits both everyday wear and more formal occasions. The material is pleasantly thin and not too warm!
Why are merino wool base layers a favourite gift for dad?
Merino wool base layers are the foundation of layering: light, warm and breathable – and sweat doesn't start to smell, because merino wool resists odours. They are also easy to care for – often airing them out is enough instead of washing. Sensitive 225 is our most popular men's base layer.
