As with many aspects of Viking-age material culture, our knowledge of Viking era clothing is fragmentary. The Viking people left few images and little in the way of written descriptions of their garments. Archaeological evidence is very limited and spotty. Thus, different scholars examining the evidence come to different conclusions. What is presented in this article represents only a range of possible interpretations.men's clothing
All the Germanic peoples in northern Europe wore similar clothing. While variations did exist, throughout the Norse era and across the Norse lands, clothing styles were remarkably consistent. The photo on the left shows men's clothing similar to that worn throughout the Norse regions, while the photo on the right shows a distinctly eastern Norse style for men.Up top, men wore a tunic that was tight fitting across the chest with a broad skirt. Down below were trousers which could be either loose fitting or tight. Women wore a long shift with a suspended overdress. Both men and women wore a long cloak or a jacket to provide warmth and protection in inclement weather.Most of our knowledge of Viking-era clothing and textiles comes from archaeological finds, while some comes from literary sources and written law. Most finds of Viking-era fabric are from grave goods. As one might expect, fabric doesn't survive very well when buried underground. The survival of large quantities of fabric is quite rare and requires unusual soil conditions. Sometimes the traces of textiles are found on the underside of jewelry, as the corrosion products of the fabric in contact with the jewelry in the grave etch the jewelry. From these ghost images, the weave and thread count may be determined.east norse clothing
Remains of clothing are also found in other places. Norse people used worn out clothing for many purposes. Sometimes, it was coated with pitch and used to seal cracks in the shipbuilding process. In other cases, fabric was coated with pitch to use as a torch, but never lit. These pitch-coated fabrics have survived very well. At least one entire garment (a pair of men's trousers) has survived from the Viking era because someone used it in the process of building a ship.Men's Clothingtunic
The outer garment for the man's upper body was the kyrtill, the overtunic. It was constructed from wool and was constructed using surprisingly complicated patterns, with many pieces that needed to be cut out of the fabric and sewn back together. However, when it was all laid out, very little fabric went to waste.viking tunic showing gores
The photo to the left shows the individual pieces of fabric being fitted together to make the tunic. The photo to the right shows a finished tunic.
The complexity results in a garment that doesn't bind or restrict movement. The upper part of the garment is relatively tight-fitting, but the sleeves are fitted to provide freedom of motion. The skirt ranged from thigh length to knee length. As with most articles of clothing, the length was determined by the wealth of the owner. A poorer man would not waste material that wasn't needed, while a more wealthy man would show off his wealth by using more material than was needed. On hot days, the skirt was lifted up and tucked into the belt for better cooling.
Sleeves were probably longer than is typical in modern garments, reaching well past the wrists.viking tunic showing gores
braid
The tunic was pulled on over the head. There were usually no fasteners, although some tunics had a simple button and loop of thread (left) to fasten the neck opening. A keyhole neckline was the most common, although many other shapes were used for the neck opening for both men and women. Men's necklines were high, since a garment that revealed the chest was considered effeminate.
Tunics of all but the poorest people were decorated with braid, at least on the neckline and cuffs. The tunics of the more wealthy were also decorated with braid on the hem of the skirt. The braid was woven from brightly colored wool using the tablet weaving technique, described later in the article.
Silk was also used to trim a tunic, although the cost of imported silk must have limited this kind of trim to only the wealthiest people.undertunic
Under the tunic, it's likely that most men also wore an undertunic (left). This was made most commonly from linen. (Linen was more expensive than wool, but more comfortable against the skin.) The construction was similar to that of the overtunic, except that the sleeves and skirt were made longer. It has been suggested that the undertunic was visible under the overtunic, so that people could see that one was wealthy enough to be able to afford an undertunic
