Viking Clothing

layout makes zeo sence, refferanced finds often have no dates, aweful read.

This is a great book for re-enactors! Very informative in many aspects of clothing, it ties together a lot of different approaches to the various Viking clothing discussions. Many different patterns are shown in a manner that make it possible to put together a cutting pattern, for example, faldr headscarves, the viborg shirt, various forms of apron dress. Get it, read it, make the kit!

The research of literature was excellent. The discriptions and explications of fabric production are excellent . But due a limited number of archilogical clothing finds the reliance on early Germanic and Carolingian clothing finds was a bit disappointing.

This book is a great mix of academic and informative information as well as an excellent source of authentic detail for the re enactor Full of illustrations to assist the reader continues to be my go to reference when making costumes.

Excellent reference work, lots of images and diagrams (both black and white, and in colour). A valuable resource for people interested in Viking clothing.

You might think this to be a dry and dreary subject but if you have any knowledge of weaving or kindred subjects you will love this. Its a story a history and an education
