Exterior is dark green wool with a bit of a whitish haze to it. Light weight, 2/2 twill.
Lined in bright red coarse weave silk! Heavy weight, tabby.
No weird long liripipe, thank you very much! We're VIKINGS!!! ;)
It's reversible too!
You know, for sudden wolf-hunting emergencies!
Red wool herringbone (my favourite!) stitching around the bottom and front opening of the shoulder skirt.
And Sutton Hoo/variant of the Vandyke stitch to stitch down the burgundy silk edging on the hood (the wool is a touch itchy on bare skin and I'm a RICH viking, dammit! :)
OMG that's GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm inspired... bwahahaha.
I love this hood hard too :D
ReplyDeleteLURVE LURVE LURVE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT!!!
Veeeeery nice! Dare I say, "SWEET!" I recall, however, there was a liripipe hood found next to the Bocksten guy. Or is that too late in period? Technically, it was after the Battle of Hastings, so I guess he wasn't really Viking.
