Thistle & Oak Gentleman’s Dispatch – Heritage Meets Innovation With Amundsen Sports This Friday & Saturday
At Thistle & Oak, we’re drawn to brands that balance craftsmanship, performance, and story — and few embody that blend quite like Amundsen Sports. Founded in Norway and inspired by legendary explorer Roald Amundsen, this line bridges the gap between timeless heritage and modern innovation.
Amundsen’s philosophy honors the wisdom of the Inuit and the spirit of exploration that defined the early 20th century — merging traditional natural materials like organic cotton, wool, and waxed canvas with cutting-edge technical fabrics. The result? Gear that looks refined yet performs effortlessly, whether you’re trekking through the woods or strolling through town.
Every Amundsen piece carries the brand’s “Buy it for Life” mentality — designed to endure seasons, stories, and adventures. Their rugged-meets-refined aesthetic pairs effortlessly with the Thistle & Oak man: practical, worldly, and never overdone. This is Friluftsliv — the Norwegian art of living outdoors — interpreted through timeless design and quiet luxury.
Each garment is made from premium European fabrics, sourced from heritage mills in Italy and beyond, ensuring both performance and integrity. These are clothes meant to age beautifully, earning their patina with every adventure.
Come experience Amundsen Sports at Thistle & Oak — a collection that captures the heart of exploration and the craftsmanship of true European heritage.
