The Skjoldehamn tunics are a part of a bogfind, from Northern Norway. It is kept in Tromsö museum. It has been dated to the late Middle Ages, no earlier than the mid-15th Century, because one 'shirt' that was found with it has a standing collar; a fashion that becomes common on the continent only towards the end of the 14th Century. However, a C14-dating of the fabric shows that it was made much earlier, around 1000 A.D.
Viking (Haithabu / Hedeby) caftan "Klappenrock"
This garment with an asymmetrical flap has long attracted the curiosity of researchers. The textile remains found at Hedeby and dated around the year 900-1000 are similar to the Vendel, or Anglo-Saxon caftans that we know thanks to the rich decoration of the helmets of Sutton Hoo, Vendel, etc. This garment would thus have passed through the ages, with ultimately quite a few modifications.
We make a lot of these caftans, most of them available in a "padded" version for the practice of Viking sports combat. However, from time to time we make such caftans for "civilian" use.
Prices starts from 175 euros.
