The verdict
Fit
Relaxed fit through the thigh with traditional 5-pocket construction signals an easy, unfussy cut. Heavy twill will be stiff initially but softens and drapes well.
Quality
Heavy twill from Norse Projects is typically durable and ages well. Construction is careful; expect the short to hold up to regular wear.
Is the price fair?
At $126, mid-tier pricing for a heritage brand's practical short. Fair for durability and understated design.
Best for
Buyers seeking a durable, relaxed summer work short or casual piece that will improve with age.
Care
Heavy twill softens with washing; air-dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain shape.
What owners report about Norse Projects shorts
Norse Projects' overall reputation with owners is solid — reviewers praise the build quality and simple designs, and say the clothing generally fits true to size. That mostly carries to the shorts range, but quality control on shorts specifically has drawn complaints: one Trustpilot reviewer received Aros twill shorts with sewing-machine holes along the stitching that became more visible after washing. The other consistent grumble is price, which reviewers describe as bordering on luxury for simple cotton shorts.
- Strengths
- Owners rate the brand's materials, finishing, and pared-back designs highly, with fit that is generally true to size.
- Watch out for
- Isolated but pointed quality-control lapses reported on shorts — stitching flaws that worsen after washing — plus prices reviewers say border on luxury.
- Sizing
- The brand generally fits true to size, though one write-up of the cotton Aros shorts found they run a bit large and stretch with wear, so consider the smaller size if between.
