Worth to note. Wool is a fantastic material, that accually keep you warm even if it is wet. And linnen is cool to touch in warm weather and warm when it is cold (as wool is to accually) just as fabric made of silk. I find natural fiber being the most practical and best in all weather conditions. How ever sometimes you do need to wear multiple layers to keep warm.

Explains why I don't give a damn about earrings, but do like rings and necklaces. Also for the clothing, I prefer it to be functional above fashionable.
-
I found our modern clothes simply boring. This is beautiful.
-
Viking clothing was warm especially in winter, dressing in layers as well as keeping the core of the body the warmest, not to mention made from wool
-
I love this! U should make a comparison to the viking TV series, I am so annoyed by how inaccurate they are, specifically with clothing
-
I really like those strap dresses over the under dress. It’s almost like a modern jumper dress. I may need to make one of these.
-
I adore the clothing of both the men and women and all the various objects, there was some beautiful crafts on show here. As much as I love to listen to the history and mythology that you provide it's nice to take an interest in other more general areas too and I thank you for sharing these. Takk skjalden

Thank you sir for this very informative video.
-
I know i am late but my interest for this will never die. This video answered so many things i have been wondering about. Good to see that they were not only religious fighters and killers, but mostly normal people.
-
This video needs to be shown to all costume designers in the film and TV industry. Vikings TV show clothes are bad, but I think the clothes and weapons in another show on at the moment, The Last Kingdom, takes it all to an even higher level of silliness when they portray the Danes.

They had to have been skilled at spinning and weaving the wool.

07:52 That´s the reconstructed viking houses at Haithabu in northern Germany! I´m there at least 3-5 times a year for the viking fairs and markets...^^

Something I rarely see, but heard from a source I trust, was that Viking dresses were made to have a reversible panel in front, which could be worn plain side out for daily chores, or flipped to have the richly decorated side showing for when company came. The brooches held the panel in place and made it easy to flip quickly.

Drawstrings probably held up the pants. The belt was more of an accessory that you could hang many optional items from. If you use a belt on the outside of your clothing, it will keep the wind from blowing up under your shirts, thus protecting you from the cold winds. I always heard that campaigns took place during the summer while the crops were growing, but I still don't see a warrior race such as the Vikings, overlooking something as simple as keeping their pants up during a fight.

This channel deserves far more attention. Seriously the best in the genre. Keep it going, skjal. It will take off when people find it.

-
Thanks for all the hard work and research. I love learning about my distant ancestors. I hope to get to visit Scandinavia one day,
-
Best channel about the vikings I have found! Much respect from Norway!

I see a lot of people on TikTok talking about how inaccurately the Viking clothing and other aspects of their culture has been represented. I feel like sometimes people try to minimize the Norse culture because it is a European culture. Yes the Vikings show is incredibly inaccurate but that doesn’t give people the right to minimize the culture itself.
