The verdict
Fit
Relaxed fit with loopback pile creates an intentionally soft, slouchy silhouette. Expect generous proportions through the shoulders and body; this is anti-fitted.
Quality
Loopback pile is a high-quality, durable construction that improves with washing. Norse Projects' attention to detail at this price level is evident; expect this to last years.
Is the price fair?
At $276.50 USD, you're approaching true premium-basics territory. The loopback construction and relaxed design are thoughtful enough to justify the price.
Best for
A discerning basics buyer who wants a statement hoodie that will age beautifully and isn't interested in trend-chasing.
Care
Machine wash cold; loopback pile actually softens and improves with regular washing.
What owners report about Norse Projects sweatshirts
Norse Projects' sweatshirt range centers on the Vagn crew and hoodie, cut in a regular fit from heavy loopback organic cotton fleece that retailer write-ups measure at 425 gsm. Reviewers describe the fabric as notably heavy and the construction as clean and minimal. The recurring owner complaint on Trustpilot is shrinkage: multiple reviewers report Vagn sweatshirts losing significant length after low-temperature machine washes, to the point of becoming unwearable, and question whether the fabric justifies the price.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently point to the heavy loopback organic cotton fleece and clean, minimal construction as the range's draw.
- Watch out for
- Shrinkage after machine washing is the recurring complaint — several Trustpilot owners report Vagn sweatshirts shrinking noticeably in length even at 30-degree washes.
- Sizing
- Retailer write-ups describe a regular fit, but given repeated owner reports of post-wash length loss, follow the care label strictly (cold wash, flat dry) rather than assuming the garment will hold its dimensions.
