Picture: Mogens Graae in 1958 with one of the sleds that immortalized his name. Sitting on the sled is trapper colleague, Kjeld Solberg, in an original Musk Ox Arctic Parka Coat.
A PIECE OF HISTORYMogens Graae lived as a trapper in the harsh North East Greenland from 1946-48. Polar trappers lived alone and isolated with their dogs most of the time, in very harsh conditions up to one year at a time. The clothing and gear they used was extremely primitive compared to the Arctic gear of today. After his return Mogens Graae began to invent and develop equipment that would improve the conditions of arctic trappers and explorers, and founded Musk Ox. Shortly after the Sirius patrol started to use Mogens Graae’s survival gear.
Today Musk Ox still produce Mogens Graae´s timeless and unique designs, staying true to Musk Ox’s utilitarian heritage.
Picture: Mogens Graae, Greenland, 1947.
With the Sirius patrol in mind, Mogens Graae developed Arctic survival gear like tents, hollow fiber sleeping bags, sleds and the Arctic Parka Coat. The Sirius Patrol was founded in 1941, and to this day operate under extreme conditions in the harsh north eastern parts of Greenland, where proper equipment and clothing is vital for survival.
Many explorers around the globe has benefitted from Mogens Graae’s experience and creativity. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to reach the summit of Mount Everest, was one.
When Hillary crashed his sled on his 1958 South Georgia expedition, he was saved by virtue of Graae’s inventive sled design. Following this incident, Hillary was instrumental in giving name to Graae’s Glacier as a token of appreciation for the man and his visionary designs.
DESIGNED FOR SURVIVAL
Picture: Sirius member, Peter Schmidt Mikkelsen, Greenland, 1977.
Christian Graae has always been fascinated by timeless, simple design, where fit and cut stay unchanged over time. Design that values craftmanship over profit, and function over form.
This is why Christian Graae made the choice to run Musk Ox in the spirit of his legendary grandfather.

MUSK OX AMBASSADORS
WILD FINN RACOON FUR COLLAR
On the original Arctic Parka coat developed for the Sirius Patrol in 1960 by Mogens Graae, real fur collar was used for the hood.
Real fur has great insulating qualities and is naturally moisture and snow repellent, which is highly advantageous in snowstorms and Arctic weather.
Today Musk Ox use fur collars sourced from the Wild Finn Raccoon. Fur from the Wild Finn Raccoon is a byproduct of culling, and these animals live free in nature and are not bred in captivity.
The Wild Finn Raccoon is native to Scandinavia and the Baltic countries. It is not anendangered species and has never lived in captivity. In fact the population is growing, and culling of the species is therefore needed to keep equilibrium in its natural habitats.All laws and regulations within the EU concerning welfare of animals are respected.

Wool processing has been a trade in Mosfellsbaer since 1896, previously with the company Álafoss of Iceland. In 1991, the company Ístex was formed and took over the wool processing.
Istex buys wool directly from farmers in Iceland and then process it to yarn. The wool scouring happens in the town Blönduós in north of Iceland and the spinning mill resides in the town Mosfellsbaer nearby Reykjavik.
Because of its numerous qualities, Mogens Graae only used Álafoss icelandic wool when making wool sweaters for the Sirius patrol. Today the Musk Ox wool sweaters are made exactly the same way, still handknitted with Álafoss icelandic wool using the original Musk Ox patterns.
