The hoodie is manufactured according to several international standards for quality, environment, and responsible production, with carefully controlled materials throughout the supply chain. Read more about this further down in the product description.

Along the arm runs a quote from Hávamál:

''Early should he rise,
who would have
another's wealth or life.
Seldom the sleeping wolf
gets a leg of lamb,
nor the sleeping man victory.''

The words convey the meaning of action over rest. Nothing is gained through stillness or waiting. Just as the wolf does not get its prey by resting, no victory comes to the passive. The quote is a daily reminder to the wearer that strength is built by not giving up and maintaining discipline.

(The Song of the High One, or Hávamál as it is called in Old Norse, is one of the most famous poems from the Poetic Edda. The verses are attributed to Odin himself and convey advice about life: about honor, strength, wisdom, friendship, and how to stand firm in a harsh and unforgiving world.)

-------------------------------------

The runes that consistently adorn our garments have roots in Nordic history and each carries its own meaning;

Fehu – symbolizes wealth, strength, and success.

Odal – stands for heritage, roots, and ancestral bonds.

Algiz – a protection rune associated with security and guardianship.

Mannaz – symbolizes the strength of collaboration, identity, and the bonds between people.

Uruz – stands for raw strength, power, and endurance.

Together, the runes form a message of strength, protection, and development, values that reflect both our history and the path forward.

Carry the reminder of the runes with you every time you wear a FornArv garment.
