#101

It’s the striped t-shirt that won the world. More than 3 million of our famed #101s have been sold since 1967. In Scandinavia and beyond people have worked, danced and kissed in the #101… fallen in love wearing it, spilled tears and broken up in it – worn it doing the laundry on rainy Sunday afternoons. 

The story of the #101 begins one cold January morning, when my father put the first batch of neatly folded ribbed t-shirts on the shelves of the store in Copenhagen. He called his t-shirt the #101, after California’s Highway 101, a road that dreams were made on. 

We want the #101 to be an accessible, affordable basic for everyone. The world is constantly in flux, some things have got to remain the same. 

– Mads Nørgaard 

The only thing that has changed about the #101 in the fifty years since is the colours. Every season we design a series of new colours and stripes as an add-on to the many colours and stripes which recur season after season. We make the t-shirts in our factory in Denmark and keep the price as low as we can, as close as we can to the original.

The iconic #101 t-shirt

  • #101 SHORT SLEEVE

    The iconic #101 t-shirt was designed by Jørgen Nørgaard in 1967 and already two years later, in 1969, the short-sleeved version was released due to the demand of an alternative for the warmer degrees.

  • #101 KIDS

    Nørgaard Paa Strøget & the #101 t-shirts have been together since the very start of 1967. When our kids store, Englebørn, opened in 1973 the #101 t-shirt was made in a kids edition.

    Nørgaard paa Strøget

    The #101 t-shirt from Nørgaard paa Strøget was designed in 1967 by Jørgen Nørgaard. Over the past 50 years, the design lines from the original #101 t-shirt have been further developed into other product categories, including the NPS John Dresses and NPS Nova Pants, among others.

    A unifying characteristic across all products in the Nørgaard paa Strøget collection is that they are made of the beautiful BCI-certified cotton rib, knitted in Ikast, and sewn in our factory in Korsør (DK), and that they come in a wide variety of colors and, most importantly, in our signature stripes.
