Excellent Service from The NORWEGIAN STORE

[atross]

After reading through MikeE's recent thread on Norwegian Sweaters and also looking for a new woolly pully I decide to take a look at The Norwegian store's range.

I had a look at their website

http://www.norwegianstore.com/

I liked the look of the Devold Nansen sweater, so I phoned the shop and spoke with Vittorio about the jumper and what I was looking for. I was extremely impressed as he also discussed the potential of a few other jumpers that weren't on their site that would suit my needs and at less of a cost.

What I was even more impressed with was that I received some photos in my in box about 30 mins after our chat.

I made my decision, phoned back discussed my size and I received the jumper the next day! A Janus Geilo, which is excellent and extremely good value!

Just wanted to recomend an excellent company with a very good range of products!:You_Rock_

Agreed nice to hear. I have looked at these guys before. Website seems never to be updated. What did you get for how much if I may ask?

I have just been trying out there Janus merino underwear trousers over the last three days.
So far very good! Although they have only been in about 1oc I think I will be getting alot of use out of them!

Ps for reference they do a pair at £25 and I think a pair for £28 that are thicker.

I purchased the A Janus Geilo for £65, which may sound like a lot but the quality is fantastic!

The website is a little out of date, but Vittorio is very knowledgeable and can make some excellent recomendations to fit your budget and needs, so well worth a call if you are in the market for a new jumper!

I visited the shop in Keswik a couple of years ago. What a little treasure. I left with a fantastic Janus zipped front sweater (and £80.00 lighter) but it was a great buy and will probably last a lifetime

I've been in the shop a few times but never been able to buy anything as it's always full of old tossers with beards monopolising the shopkeep talking about how they went to Norway 50 years ago.

Ummmm, did I mention that I have a long white beard and I live in Northern Norway with my Reindeers and elves

All the shops in Keswick are full of old tossers with beards (and their wives, in matching jumpers), monopolising the shopkeepers. It seems to be a tradition, just as Ambleside is full of people cutting about in the latest technical kit whilst doing no more than trekking round the outdoor shops, and Windermere is full of busloads of elderly ladies smelling faintly of pee and biscuits.

 

[Lurch]

Quite so.
It is of course essential to takle the difficult east ascent of the Market Square with full mountain hiking gear and walking poles. Red socks for full marks.
