The verdict
Fit
Ungendered pullover suggests a refined fit, likely true-to-size or slightly fitted. Merino-lambswool blends run true-size with minimal stretch.
Quality
Merino and lambswool together offer softness and breathability. Norse Projects' construction is meticulous; expect a sweater that holds its shape.
Is the price fair?
USD 189 is mid-premium—fair for a merino-lambswool blend from a label known for precision finishing.
Best for
Shoppers who appreciate refined knitwear and want a sweater that breathes and layers well year-round.
Care
Hand-wash in cool water or use a wool-setting wash cycle with merino detergent; lay flat to dry.
What owners report about Norse Projects sweaters
Owners on menswear forums rate Norse Projects' lambswool and merino sweaters among the brand's strongest categories, with several reporting pieces that have held up well over many years of wear. Long-term owners describe the knitwear as a highlight of the range and say repeat purchases have been consistent. The recurring caveat is price: multiple owners say full retail feels steep for a basic crewneck and report buying on sale or secondhand instead, describing the range as pick-and-choose rather than uniformly worth it.
- Strengths
- Owners repeatedly report the wool sweaters holding up over years of wear, with some citing pieces a decade old still in rotation.
- Watch out for
- Full-price value is the recurring complaint — owners call the basic crewnecks nothing special at retail and advise waiting for sales or buying secondhand.
