Jake Gyllenhaal wearing Vikur Men´s Jacket

The Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal spent the last weekend in Iceland. Mr. Gyllenhaal has starred in a number of movies, among the Brothers, where he was in one of the leading roles with Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman. Sigurjon Sighvatsson was the producer of the movie, and the actors got to know 66°NORTH outdoors clothes while shooting the film.

Jake was immediately impressed by the quality and looks of 66°NORTH, and since then, we have seen images of him wearing clothes from 66°NORTH in a number of magazines, including US Weekly. Most often, Gyllenhaal has been wearing the Glymur softshell jacket or the breathable Glymur jacket; garments that have both been very popular among both Icelanders and the international clientele.

Jake Gyllenhaal used the opportunity when he was in Iceland this weekend, and paid a visit to the 66°NORTH shop in Bankastraeti in Reykjavik, Iceland‘s capital. There, he purchased some clothes to wear during his weekend trip in Iceland. The photographer Bjorn Blondal took some pictures of Jake, wearing the Vikur men‘s jacket which the actor bought last Saturday.

Jake Gyllenhaal isn‘t the only Hollywood actor that likes to wear 66°NORTH clothes. Along with him, international A-list stars like Natalie Portman, Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth, and more, have been spotted wearing the stylish Icelandic brand. It can also be mentioned that members of both the Danish and Swedish royal houses own and use clothes from 66°NORTH.

Iceland: Real estate market at crossroads
Housing prices will continue to rise over the coming years. The pace of these rises, however, will slow down considerably. High interest rates, tighter access to loans and a cooling labour market are the factors that will reduce demand.
