Pre-Order info:

INFO VI - 20.01-26:

All the pre-orders have been taken care of. There are a few extras, but once these are gone, they might be gone for a long time.

INFO V, 06.01-26:

We’re waiting on the denims (and hoodies) right now, and the carrier expects delivery late this weekend or early next week. As long as nothing gets held up in customs or similar, we should be ready to have them shipped within roughly a week.

INFO IV, 23.12-25:

The jackets have left our factory, and we will begin packing and shipping in early 2026, after the holiday period.

INFO III, 02.10-25:

The files have been delivered to the factory and production has commenced. The estimated time of arrival is December. We will begin shipping as soon as possible; however, if deliveries are ready late in December, we will postpone dispatch until January to avoid the holiday rush, when postal traffic is particularly high and the risk of lost shipments increases. Please also note that our own team will have limited availability during the holidays, which may affect processing times compared to other months.

INFO II, 14.09-25:

Pre-orders are now closed. We will hand over the files to our factory as soon as possible.

INFO I, 24.07-25:

Due to our limited storage capabilities, we do not place large orders for our products. To ensure you can secure an item, we offer a pre-order option. This process involves selecting your desired jacket size, after which we will dispatch it to you as soon as it becomes available. Production will take an estimated 12 to 15 weeks AFTER the pre-order window has closed, contingent upon the overall size of the order, including all bands and collaborators. You retain the right to cancel your purchase at any time, and we will issue a full refund without any inquiries. This policy is a fundamental right afforded to our customers. The pre-order period primarily serves as a guide for us to determine the quantity we need to procure.

We are currently collaborating with several bands that require finalization. Further details, including the closing date, will be provided here as we move forward.

Please note: Updates will not be sent via email. All updates will be posted on this page, above this section. As a rule of thumb: no news is good news.

HALVDAN SVARTE (ca 810 - 860 A.D)

Halvdan Svarte (Halfdanr Svarti, Halfdan the Black) was king of Vestfold county and is first and foremost known as the father of Harald Haarfagre (Harald Fairhar). It needs to be said that the reliability of this kinship is somewhat uncertain. Nonetheless Harald Haarfagre is named "The son of Halvdan" in a sentence in "Haraldskvæði". Despite that, Halvdan was a common name back then, and there are no reliable sources stating that they were actually father and son, though there is a possibility that they actually were. (You can read more about Halvdan and his family on Wikipedia.)

However, regarding the demise of Halvdan, all sources are in agreement; That he on his way home from Hadeland drowned in the lake Randsfjorden when his horse and sleigh broke through the ice. According to legend, the districts of his kingdom all wanted to claim his grave, but as they never came to an agreement, they decided to divide his body into four pieces. This way each district could bury a part of their beloved king. Supposedly his head lies in Halvdanshaugen (the mound of Halvdan) at Stein in Ringerike. Some say that Svarte was worshipped as a god of growth among the farmers in these areas.

He got his nickname “Svarte” because of his black hair.

Haraldskvæði (Hrafnsmál) (4)

Hreyfðisk enn hǫsfjaðri
ok of hyrnu þerði,
arnar eiðbróðir,
ok at andsvǫrum hugði:
Haraldi vér fylgðum
syni Halfdanar,
ungum ynglingi,
síðan ór eggi kómum.

The eagle's sworn brother
stirred its grey feathers,
its pointed beak wiping,
pondered its answer:
'Haraldr we have followed,
Halfdan's son,
scion of the Ynglingar,
since we hatched from our eggs.
