Norse Projects Willum Down Jacket / Coat Size XL Olive Vintage Early Generation Model (c.2013 onwards)
A genuine early-generation Norse Projects Willum Down Jacket in olive, size XL.
This jacket formed part of my working wardrobe as a football scout and has travelled extensively around the UK in all manner of weather conditions. The only reason for selling is that I have recently replaced it with a newer version.
In my opinion, this remains one of the finest iterations of the Willum. Norse Projects have refined the design over the years, but I still prefer the understated appearance, simplicity and practical cold-weather performance of these earlier models.
If you know Norse Projects, you'll know the Willum is one of the brand's defining pieces – a low-key, highly functional down jacket that delivers serious warmth without unnecessary branding or fuss.
Condition
This is a well-used jacket that has been worn regularly over many years, so please do not expect a new item.
That said, it has aged remarkably well and remains fully functional.
Original hood present
Zip operates smoothly
Press studs secure
Pockets intact
Down remains lofty and warm
No significant tears or structural damage
All trims, fittings and fixtures remain in place and working correctly
The main cosmetic flaw is a small 'spot'of discolouration visible on the right shoulder (shown in photographs).
Aside from general wear and ageing consistent with long-term use, the jacket remains in excellent practical condition and continues to perform exactly as intended.
Why I'm Selling
If storage space wasn't a consideration, I'd happily keep this in rotation for colder weather.
Part of my motivation for selling is that this could be an ideal entry point for somebody who has always been curious about Norse Projects outerwear but isn't quite ready to spend £500+ on a new version of their trademark jacket.
The Willum has become a modern classic for good reason, and this remains a very wearable example of one of the earlier versions.

Seller's Note
One of the great strengths of Norse Projects has always been producing clothing that improves through use rather than demanding attention. This jacket is a good example of that philosophy: understated, functional and built to be worn rather than admired from a distance.
