The story of the Helly Hansen brand began in 1877. After many years at sea, the Norwegian captain Helly Juell Hansen returned home at the age of 35. And so, together with his wife Maren Margarethe, they began making jackets, pants, sweaters and tarpaulins from thick linen, soaked in linseed oil in a small coastal village of Moss, on the Oslo Fjord. Helly Hansen's legacy is that of a brand that has left its mark with many innovations and groundbreaking garments throughout the 20th century.
