Vintage Helly Hansen Wool Overshirt. Growing up in Denmark Helly Hansen was so widespread that you would have thought it was Danish, but Helly Hansen, was actually established in 1877 by Captain Helly Juell Hansen in Norway. The brand initially specialized in creating waterproof clothing tailored for sailors, utilizing linseed oil-soaked linen to produce resilient garments. This pioneering approach set the stage for subsequent innovations, including the launch of the Helox fabric in 1949 and the introduction of the HELLY TECH® system in 1984. The brand's unwavering dedication to sustainability and high-performance fashion has cemented its reputation in the industry.
