These 7-incher field shorts from Norwegian brand Amundsen have a mighty following among rugged Scandi outdoorsmen, and you can see why. Everything about them is engineered to survive seriously rough treatment – from the bombproof stretch Cordura to the top-grade Scottish waxed canvas reinforcement yokes on the front and seat. They're the sort of shorts that you'll only ever need to buy once, and the hard-wearing waxed cotton from Halley Stevensons in Dundee will age beautifully as you put them through their paces year after year. The fitted design and seven-inch length are perfect for hiking and other active sports where you don't want baggy boardies flapping about – and they've got some nice little touches like a knife loop on the belt and a signature watch pocket in pale red British Millerain waxed cotton. Oh, and did we mention they look the business too?
Amundsen shorts run on the small side. If you're on the cusp between two sizes, we suggest you take the larger size.

Amundsen clothing is named after one of the greatest explorers ever to walk the Earth. No pressure there then. In fact, the company’s co-founder, Jørgen Amundsen, is a relative of the legendary man himself, and the brand’s designs are based on classic styles from the golden age of exploration. Throw in a generous dash of 1960s Nordic ski resort chic and you’ve got a unique range of good-looking kit that’ll get you noticed in all the right ways.
However, there’s nothing old-fashioned about the way Amundsen’s gear performs. Ruggedly built from merino wool and waterproof triple-layer cotton, these are serious expedition-grade garments built for a Scandi outdoor culture – a concept that the Norwegians call ‘friluftsliv’, or ‘open-air life’. It’s the idea that time spent enjoying the freedom of the outdoors should be a core part of your life, since it enhances just about everything else. Now that’s something we can all get on board with.
