An episode in the sagas suggests that leg wrappings were uncommon enough in Iceland to be worthy of note. Chapter 9 of Gull-Þoris saga describes Grímr, who wore a white cloak, white trousers, and swathing bands (spjarrar) wrapped around his legs. And so, he was called Vafspjarra-Grímr (swathing band Grímr).
On the other hand, these leg wrappings provide significant protection to the lower leg when crashing through dense brush, such as exists in Icelandic birch forests. In addition, they help keep legs and trousers warm and dry when walking in snow (left).
We know little about underpants used during the Norse era. No surviving examples are known to exist. It is believed that they followed the same patterns as trousers but were typically knee length. Like trousers, some may have been simple, and some may have been complicated in the crotch area, again for freedom of motion. Like trousers, they had no fly. A drawstring at the waist or belt held the underpants up, and they may have had drawstrings at the knees. When available, they were made of linen for comfort, but wool was used as well.
In chapter 16 of Fljótsdæla saga, the saga author mentions that at the time of the events in the saga (10th century), men did not wear underpants. Yet, just two chapters later, Gunnar Þiðrandabani is described leaving his tent at night to relieve himself wearing nothing but tunic and underpants. (At that moment, his pursuers spotted him, and Gunnar spent the rest of the night and the following day dressed so while eluding his pursuers across the cold Icelandic landscape.)under pants
Gísla saga Súrssonar (ch.16) says that Gísli walked one night to the neighboring farm at Sæból dressed in shirt and linen underdrawers, with a cloak over his back. Gísli's plan was to enter the sleeping longhouse at night to kill his brother-in-law Þorgrímr. Although not explicitly stated, the lack of trousers would make it difficult for the people of Sæból to recognize the intruder by touch in the dark longhouse.
These two episodes (and many others) suggest that linen underwear was worn to bed.
It's been suggested that very poor men did not use underclothing and thus may have slept naked. In chapter 18 of Ljósvetninga saga, Þorbjörn rindill, a poor man from the East Fjords, was hired by Guðmundr inn ríki (the powerful) to serve as a spy at the home of Þorkell hákr (bully). On the night of the attack, Þorbjörn heard the dog barking and men riding up to the house. He sprang from his bed and ran outside naked, with his clothes in his hand and got dressed outside. The episode suggests he slept naked.cloak
The cloak was simply a large rectangular piece of wool, sometimes lined with contrasting color wool. Cloaks provided protection from the cold, from the wind, and to a limited degree, from the rain. Some cloaks were made with very dense, very thick wool, which would have provided extra protection. Cloaks were typically worn offset, with the right arm (the weapon arm) unencumbered by the cloak. Cloaks could be embroidered, or trimmed with tablet woven braid. Typically they hung to somewhere between the knee and the ankle depending on the wealth of the owner.
During the Norse era, Iceland exported wool in the form of homespun cloth (vaðmál) or ready-made cloaks (vararfeldur), also called a shaggy cloak (röggvarafeldur). There were strict regulations on homespun, and it was used as a standard exchange product, in the same manner as silver.

homespunHomespun cloaks had a shaggy exterior, like sheepskin. One explanation is that the shaggy appearance was created by tying additional threads to the warp threads while the fabric was being woven (left).
An explanation that better fits the descriptions of the fabric in the stories is that tufts from the fleece of the sheep were looped around warp threads but not pulled tight, leaving a large loop. The resulting garment resembled a patchy lamb fleece. A modern reconstruction of a shaggy coat displayed on a mannequin is shown to the right, but it's worth noting that this reproduction differs in appearance from surviving fragments of historical shaggy fabrics. Perhaps the technique used in making the reproduction is in error, or perhaps the surviving fragments have changed their appearance over the intervening centuries.
