FOR EVERYONE SINCE 1967

The striped t-shirt that won the world. In Scandinavia and beyond, people have worked, danced, and kissed in the #101...

The story of the #101 begins on a cold January morning in 1967, when Mads’ father placed the first batch of neatly folded ribbed t-shirts on the shelves of the store Nørgaard paa Strøget in Copenhagen. He named his t-shirt the #101 – inspired by Levi’s 501 and by California’s Highway 101, a road that dreams were made on.

The #101 was created to be an accessible, affordable basic for everyone. The world is constantly in flux – somethings have to remain the same. Today, this ribbed one-size t-shirt is still produced locally in Denmark: knitted in Ikast, dyed in Herning, and assembled in our sewing facility in Korsør. One-size as always, soft and comfortable in #100 BCI cotton.

And we still love it. Find your #101 today.

    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.
