NORN (clothing brand)

NORN[1] is a winter trouser manufacturer based in Montreal, Canada. The insulating fabric for the pants is a special type of fleece . The outer layer is either wool, poly-wool blend or polyester. The combination of the fabrics is chosen such that the pants breathe but also insulates. The main idea is to be warm when out side, while remaining comfortable indoors.

History

NORN started by a Montreal engineering student from Concordia University by the name of Gregory Oganesian. Riding his motorcycle at close to subzero temperatures, wearing 3 layers and suffering in discomfort, he taught of making a comfortable and warm pair of trousers for the motorcycle. When the prototype was complete, he was amazed by the result and wanted to deliver it to his friends and relative. The he decided selling them online and transitioned selling to boutiques.

These are the first line of prototype pants
