The story of Helly Hansen Workwear
Arguably the most famous wet weather clothing in the world, the Helly Hansen brand has grown from its humble beginnings in 1877 in the fjords of Scandinavia, now a world leader in protection against bad weather. The Norwegian fisherman Helly Juell Hansen was an experienced mariner who had spent much of his life in the ocean, from the age of only fifteen years. The now captain saw that the hats and clothes of the traditional fishermen were simply not up to the job; he and his wife Maren Margarethe began developing the company's first offerings in the form of faux fur jackets, pants and waterproof pants.
The thick linen garments were soaked in linseed oil and allowed to cure for a period of time before acquiring unprecedented waterproofing properties, the captain knew it was in the hands of a winner. The garments exceeded all those that preceded them; so much so, in fact, in just 5 years, the adventurous entrepreneur had recorded sales of more than 10,000 pieces.
The years that followed increased the importance of Helly Hansen's work clothes and received a diploma par excellence at the Paris Exposition of 1878. The seven oceans of the world were no longer a barrier for traders, especially for an accomplished fisherman like the good captain; Now the world was open for business with exports of these internationalized popular garments.
Today, of course, Helly Hansen is synonymous with high quality and reliability, the tool chosen by the serious trader and used globally as a rescue and rescue team for emergency services, including the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, the lifeboat service more ancient of the world.
