    Default Dutch Norgy top in wool?

    Looking for a Dutch norgy (kolletje) made from 100% wool, preferably merino in either the old school green or the new grey. Any help appreciated.

    I believe the Dutch ones are all made in cotton.

    But the Austrian Alpine sweater is 100% wool;

    Brynje of Norway, your one-stop store for all your winter clothing needs. This is seriously good stuff.

    yup, half cotton half plastic. Should have mentioned I'm looking for a merino wool top that, when worn with another garment over the top, can pass as an issue kolletje (at a glance). Looks like Noorloos is just the ticket.

    not technically wool - but would recommend Ussen products

    Seconded - I've still got Brynje stuff I bought in the late 80s.

    If you mean at an RSM's glance you may find yourself disappointed...

    This week I found myself @Noorloos trying on an Antarctica shirt; they fit quite large so you might want to consider one size smaller than you normally would. I prefer the shirts I got in Norway though, which resemble the Brynje stuff.
