This kind of clothing is highly underrated for being outdoors, highly layered and prevents the ingress of debri, dirt and parasites like ticks and leeches.

@Lian Toby Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Well, I guess you should buy some wool and make yourself something you're gonna wear while being home just to grasp that feeling. Regarding the cut and pattern of the clothes, any woolen clothing is really homey, comfortable, warm and pajama-ish. Way better than tracksuit and other things we wear while doing nothing
@@Krompierre. I have already sewed some pieces by hand. One thick woolen tunic, one of thinner wool and two of linnen. Also woolen trousers, belts and I safed an old pair of loved lether shoes (wich were normal sort of hiking boots) by giving them a new lether sole. The lether was to thin so I have to renew it again but anyways. Long story short, I KNOW how incredible comfortable these clothes are :D I do not understand why women wear dresses (what a tunic is to be honest) and men do not in "modern" times, because we (men) are the human beings who need extra space for the body parts between our legs xD My dream is to earn money with these crafts. Maybe one day...
@@janz4880 Horses. The answer is horses. Men rode for hunting, for traveling, and for battle. Leggings were better for being in the saddle or on horseback. Women didn't ride as much because they were not expected or required to, which is why they kept the dresses and loose clothing. It became a cultural norm that pants=power, so men adopted everyday pants into their style to accentuate their power, even if they didn't have it. That tradition carries to this day. Look at older cultures pre horse, and you find many more toga, tunic, and looser clothing for men. It wasn't until Horses came along that many switched to pants.
Yeah, and it's funny that these sorts of trousers went away for quite a long time with hose being more common, and eventually, we came back around to it.
Wool is actually warm and breathes. I own a lovely wool and cashmere coal and I'm never over heating unless I turn up the heat to much in the car. If your in Florida I suggest lots of linen. Natural fibers just breath more than synthetic toxic plastic garbage we wear on on bodies & polute the water with.
i love how simple this is, but how it still highlights every single piece, especially that it does not have voiceover. tho i need more closeups of your socks, i can never get my socks right :p or maybe you guys have a favourite tutorial for those? also love the color variation and decorative seams!
You should be able to buy Naulbind socks online, which his pair appear to be; I’ve seen some Etsy sellers that have them; if you just need pictures, I can ask some of the reenactors in my discord if they have photos I can send. You can also make them out of sewn pieces of fabric, similar to a modern sock, but naulbinding is just great
Ok so I found a tutorial channel that might have something; I’m still scrolling through the discord to try to find examples before I ask, but this one might be of help in the meantime: ua-cam.com/channels/yfccznWuQQxa9Hmpm10QVg.html
Those socks, mittens and hats were made by nalbinding as mentioned below, which is the precursor to knitting. There's all sorts of tutorials online for learning to do so.
Awesome! Is it possible for you guys to make a video about how to store food while on a hike? What different kind of bags, waxed cloths and pots you use? Or maybe how to conserve food?
Hi, in those times it was quite commen for people to not use a fridge because the electric fridge like we know it wasnt invented until the 20th century. Kind Regards JP
I really don’t understand why we don’t dress like this anymore. Not only does it look better, but it’s also more functional and I can tell it’s more comfortable
What looks good and what doesn’t is subjective to personal taste- it may look phenomenal to us but awful to others. Unfortunately it is more expensive and time-consuming to make and wear as well.
Any possibility of doing a second version with audio overlay describing in English (and Norse) what each item is called and what it is typically constructed of?
It's all about culture. Christian Europeans wore hose because trousers were seen as barbaric trash unbefitting the inheritors of Rome, notwithstanding their utility. Trousers did win out in the end, of course. Utility can overcome tradition, it just takes a while. You don't see Japanese dressing like samurai or black Africans wearing loincloths anymore, but if those garments were vastly more practical we'd probably all be wearing them.
@@shane8037 Medieval Africans generally didn't wear loincloths, that perception mostly comes from images of slaves, who obviously weren't given much options for clothing. In native African kingdoms, though shirtlessness wouldn't be uncommon (given the humidity), they had textiles and clothing on par with the rest of the world. The painting of the six kings shows the King of Axum (Ethiopia) next to the Byzantine, Persian, and Gothic rulers, dressed in a similar fashion. Ghanaians dressed very similarly to the Arab empires at the time due to their trade connections. Surviving native textiles show intricate embroidering and dyeing patterns on their robes as well.
In Scotland it was a practical matter. It was easier to change out for dry hose rather than carry dry trouse. This is also a major reason for the Great Kilt. The GK served as an all weather garment , bedroll, and Tent.
How can anyone downvote a video that starts with an almost nekid man? I could almost feel the relief as each layer was added and secured in place. Anyone who has gone winter camping in the Canadian Rockies knows the value of woollen layers. Is there any archeological evidence that leather boots and shoes were boiled in fat or had fat rubbed into them to make them waterproof?
So what advice would you have for someone looking to get clothes like this to wear in his everyday life? I fell in love with this part of my heritage years ago and have finally decided that I don't care what others think I look like I wanna go for it. It's just hard to know what companies to trust or where to source fabric that won't destroy my bank account but will still last a while
I find linen tablecloths and curtains to use at thrift stores. Also old woolen blankets and XXL wool skirts and coats cut in pieces will work, then just invest in key items.
@@RomanoJG I have been since posting the first comment. They have done well however I've found that the dyed linen wears out far faster than the natural ones.
You'll thank yourself in the long run if you just buy the base threads you need and learn to knit, weave, and sew everything yourself. Having the skill is worth it's weight in historically accurate clothing
I agree with Christina- go to thrift stores for blankets and linen curtains. Also freecycle. I put out a request for wool fabric/old blankets because I weave woolen rag rugs. Now I have boxes full! Also, learn nallbinding. It is quite simple and fast and there are many videos online. Also books, which I prefer. Familiarize yourself with fibers and yarns and perhaps reach out to local spinning guilds for advice. This is a wonderful video. As a spinner, though, I would not use a solid bulky yarn for the socks. A more loosely spun, long staple fiber from an historic nordic breed, worked with two or three strands of yarn at a time would make a much loftier fabric allowing for more heat retention and felting for strength, comfort, and long wear.
Chlapi paráda. Sice se o Vikingy nijak nezajímám, ale vaše tvorba a podání mě fakt už dlouho baví. Dneska mě dostala ta kapuce (kápě) - dva čtverce, dva obdélníky, sešít a je hotovo - fakt v jednoduchosti je síla a krása. Musím to někdy zkusit ušít z nějaký deky a otestovat - až jednou přijde zima :-). Díky za tip a držím palce v další tvorbě.
This might actually be a woman's outfit, we don't know one way more than the other, but we do know that we don't know :-) It was automatically gendered male because of the presence of a knife. There's now a few papers written about it. A great rabbit hole to go down!
TLDR this is very historically accurate. Very accurate given the lacking records (very few mostly partial prices from the archaeological record, and some terrible drawings, mostly on badly weather ruin stones but some accounts from other cultures that took note of them thus second hand sources, compared to other cultures we basically have almost nothing to go off from...) yet we know that it had to be something very similar to this... nothing like the shows and movies in the US... You did exceptionally well. Personally I would have also went with a linen undershirt as well because that's also accurate and it's more comfortable (read less itchy) than the woolen tunic on the skin... (obviously with the tunic as an over shirt) witch is the only inaccuracy I noticed ... The tunics of modern times tend to be way way too short... the Norse were known to have short tunics so short they only came to the knees (other culture's tunics tended to fall below the knee) but mid thy is still way too high even for a Norse tunic ... but that's nit-picky of me, and just because we have writing from Christian monks that say that they were knee high doesn't mean nobody had even shorter ones... also we don't have a lot of evidence for shin wraps, but we don't have much against them either so... Overall this is one of the better replica outfits I've seen. Great job, I'm impressed. Hollywood would do better to hire you as a costume designer than whoever the History Channel got for the show Vikings... Those outfits (on Vikings the show) were complete fantasy. Don't get me wrong they looked badass, but not historically accurate at all. Not even close, not even for battle armor ... they did not use leather armor nor lamellar armor (think fish scales)... they used riveted chainmail or no armor at all and helmets were most probably exceedingly rare. Also your shoes were almost an exact replica of the most intact Viking age Norse shoes found to date. Very good reproduction, A+ on that. You really did very well on the whole outfit compared to a lot of reenactors and definitely way above Hollywood. Wash with smoke then with potash and clay, rince in cold and hang dry. (We analyzed fibers and figured out how they washed laundry.) They were very clean with their hair and cloths... they took regular baths when most cultures didn't so often bathe. The Christians called them Heathens and barbarians, because they were imperialist before the imperial age... but not because of greed but because they had to, they ran out of land. Yet we don't look at the British like that... kinda sus Christians... just say'n. Anyways I've rambled on enough, cheers.
Any tips on more historical washing methods? I am still learning how to wash my wools, so I'm just buying cheap thrifted stuff until I'm confident that I won't ruin stuff I've made to wear during fieldwork.
@@aellalee4767 Honestly don't know... maybe make potassium clay soap, dissolve in water, in clay pit, smudge clothes in fragrant smoke, soak clothes in soapy water in pit, rinse in river, dry in lodge with heat from harth... if I had to guess.
as a 30 years old man watchign a full video of a man putting his medievel clothes on, in nature with sound of birds and small stream makes me feel like geh
is there any advantage for using leather strip for tying shoes and shinwraps over a textile cord? also why wouldnt you use a quick release knot as we do on modern shoes?
You can see the influences of the dwindling empire in the south, carried north by many traders and storytellers who lived within the borders of these lands. To reach the empire, travelers had to spend many days traveling south over treacherous mountain passes. I'm talking of and about Germanic and in part celtic traders engaged in the trades with their counterparts in the territories under protection of the banners and troops of S.P.Q.R
This video has inspired me to attempt to make some of these items, but I have a materials question: what are the kinds of wools that make up the two tunics?
I can't answer your question, but make sure you really make the clothes out of wool, and not some kind of mix between wool en polyster, or cotton or anything that isn't wool (tip for keeping actually warm, because wool keeps always warm, even wet, and the rest doesn't ;) ) Most wool is now a mix, sadly
I'm really curious about the bib looking part of the shirt. Is there any specific reason for it (excluding a pretty button), or was it just for aesthetics?
@@marobud_reenactment They like medieval music and cooking. We use the videos to inspire the creation of our own medieval stories. Logically, sword fights, bows are very much appreciated. Please say hello to students at Maria Isabel School in Brazil They would like it very much.
I just read a paper called "The Skjoldehamn Find in the Light of New Knowledge" by Dan Halvard Løvlid that discusses this. It seems like it's possible. He also says that if it *is* Sami, it may even be a woman. History is murky!
Crocheting socks is pretty easy actually, you start from the toe. But the socks, mittens and headware here are made with a technique called nalbinding. Crocheting is even younger than knitting as a craft - even though it's hard to tell HOW old exactly, there is not a single sign of crocheted items even in the last years of the viking era.
These clothes are common 'knowledge' within the early medieval (or viking age) reenactment and living history comunity all over the world. Of course you have different variations depending on the interpretations and findings that you prefer, also with different regional influences (vikings were a huge group of people, influenced by different cultures depending on where they lived and how they lived). If you wanna make those clothes (not only sweing, but also nalbinding, tablet weaving, finger loop braiding and even leather work for the shoes), you can find tons of videos and blogs about how to here and everywhere in the internet. If you want to buy it, there are great online stores, be it etsy or on their own. But that will cost you quite a lot, and you will know why when you try to make it yourself. There are also books, based on research and archeological funds.
Linen is a very good insulator during the winter weather.we wear it all year round.I wear a linen under tunic a wool tunic and wool over coat. Plus the hood,socks, mittens,hat,But not really into the leg wraps.I have some but they not as well used as by any results I have read.
I always wonder with these videos... If time travel was possible, and you traveled to the year 800 AD, would you fit in wearing these clothes or would people think you looked weird? I suppose we'll never find out. Great video!
I'D say a bit both is the most likely, like fitting into society but maybe not in the exakt place you'd be finding yourself upon arrival. for easier understanding like someone from way outa town
You would likely be huge and uncommonly attractive, considering that humans have bred for size and attractiveness for roughly 1200y since, paired with better nutrition.
Hey! I love your videos! Did you buy these clothes or did you make it on your own? If you made it yourself, were do you have the textile from? If you made the textile yourself, can I buy some? xD Lovely greetings from the Land of those who are called german (I am not german. I am deutsch... so lovely greetings from Deutschland ^^)!
In Germany we call that a 'Gugel'. According to google it translates to 'cowl'. Translating it backwards gave me something else, though related. It's basically a hooded shoulder cape. You usually wear it above the cape (if you have one, though the blanket he picked up last is prob not part of his outfit, but could be easily made into a rectangle cape with a pin), but you can also wear underneath if you want. This one is made of wool, 2 rectangles and 2 squares just like the oldest one that was found (dated into the the very last years of the viking era to the first century after it, so some ppl like to argue that it's not viking clothing). Pretty easy to make.
This is great, but I hope people don't confuse this with a completely accurate look with how long that belt is, in medieval times people wouldn't waste leather and belts were made to be one size fits one person, the belt would be fitted near perfectly and there would be no need of dangle leather.
those are woolen socks, when i was a kid my grandma knitted a pair just like those and lemme tell you they're very warm and comfy on the foot and those leather shoes as long as they don't have holes in the soles or underneath are impermeable though you'd feel every stone and pebble you'll step on

Realy nice video.

Excellent. Thank you
Look at all that viking age drip!
ngl, this looks comfy af
Layering still works!
May I ask where you got your boots? I’ve had a hard time finding some good Viking shoes Thank you if you respond and For helping me!
coolest thing i ever seen
Where’d the pattern for the undertunic come from? Is it based of a particular find?
Both tunics are from the Skjoldehamn find.
I'm really curious about the bib looking part of the shirt. Is there any specific reason for it (excluding a pretty button), or was it just for aesthetics?
Ill use that in my History classes here in Brazil! The cloths are make in wool or cotton? How the temperature in winter?
Hello Roberto, it is all wool. Cotton wasn´t used in the Middle Ages. We are glad you use it in classes :)
Is there something extra that would interest students?
@@marobud_reenactment They like medieval music and cooking. We use the videos to inspire the creation of our own medieval stories.
Logically, sword fights, bows are very much appreciated.
Please say hello to students at Maria Isabel School in Brazil
They would like it very much.
i tend to put my wraps on before i put the socks on. then again mine are a little longer so they can go under the foot.
This really depends on the each individual :)
Personally i put my wraps from knee to foot and then put it into sock. It holds well i quess. Mannfall tested.
Excellent work
Thank you :)
@@marobud_reenactment what started you out on this?
My grandma used to knite these kind of socks and gloves..
The blanket he just folded and carried away in the end could act as a short cloak to give additional warmth.
Wouldn't be out of place today it might make a come back i would wear it.
Damn those socks look comfy as hell
Were can I buy this type of clothing?
Looks super-comfy but why don't the drawers come properly up to the waist?
Excellent video! I have one question. What is the name of that last piece of clothing you put on?
You mean the hat?
@@olgahein4384 I meant the hood, I've since figured out what it's called. It's a good design.
Looks comfortable
Where does one find the mustard colored shirt that is under the tunic?
Beautifull! Thanks!
That was pretty awesome!👍
When he picked up the blanket, I really thought he was going to put it on as a cloak.
This is amazing
I am interested in the shoes, and where I can find a pattern to make them myself.
use your foot as the pattern
Hi, what material are the pants made of and what temperature can they withstand?
Where can I get these clothes from
What’s the purpose of the flap on the first tunic?
I've seen some discussion that the Skjoldeham outfit is actually Saami. Is that just a fringe idea¿ Regardless, nice outfit.
I just read a paper called "The Skjoldehamn Find in the Light of New Knowledge" by Dan Halvard Løvlid that discusses this. It seems like it's possible. He also says that if it *is* Sami, it may even be a woman. History is murky!
When you look at viking tunics and traditional Sami clothing, you can see, that they are similar. Maybe there is a connection.
How firm is that shin wrapping? Looks like a long ordeal to readjust it if it gets loose at any point. Everything else is very practical-looking.
Were u get ur clothing wrapping ect
Awesome, but all I could think of through the whole ting was gol durn brrrrrrrrr
This video makes me want to learn how to crochet socks
Crocheting socks is pretty easy actually, you start from the toe. But the socks, mittens and headware here are made with a technique called nalbinding. Crocheting is even younger than knitting as a craft - even though it's hard to tell HOW old exactly, there is not a single sign of crocheted items even in the last years of the viking era.
How did you learn to make this style or where did you get it?
These clothes are common 'knowledge' within the early medieval (or viking age) reenactment and living history comunity all over the world. Of course you have different variations depending on the interpretations and findings that you prefer, also with different regional influences (vikings were a huge group of people, influenced by different cultures depending on where they lived and how they lived). If you wanna make those clothes (not only sweing, but also nalbinding, tablet weaving, finger loop braiding and even leather work for the shoes), you can find tons of videos and blogs about how to here and everywhere in the internet. If you want to buy it, there are great online stores, be it etsy or on their own. But that will cost you quite a lot, and you will know why when you try to make it yourself. There are also books, based on research and archeological funds.
Skjoldehamn 11th century sami but could be part of the fashion and culture of the time because of a few tribes close proximity to the norse...
Cool. Do you make your own clothes or buy them?
What resources did you use for patterns and information?
No Linen under shirt? What reason?
There was no linen tunic in Skjoldehamn find. Linen cloth sucks water and cold. Wool warms even is wet
Linen is a very good insulator during the winter weather.we wear it all year round.I wear a linen under tunic a wool tunic and wool over coat. Plus the hood,socks, mittens,hat,But not really into the leg wraps.I have some but they not as well used as by any results I have read.
Are those winningas made by Oldcraft Wool?
I think yes
I love Mikhails work. Terrific craftsman.
What is the under tunic’s fabric?
it tirggeres me so much that your socks buldge up like that when putting on the shoes :D
Drip Check
I always wonder with these videos... If time travel was possible, and you traveled to the year 800 AD, would you fit in wearing these clothes or would people think you looked weird? I suppose we'll never find out. Great video!
I'D say a bit both is the most likely, like fitting into society but maybe not in the exakt place you'd be finding yourself upon arrival.
for easier understanding like someone from way outa town
You would likely be huge and uncommonly attractive, considering that humans have bred for size and attractiveness for roughly 1200y since, paired with better nutrition.
Such a good video
awesome
I got cold just watching the video!
Hey! I love your videos! Did you buy these clothes or did you make it on your own? If you made it yourself, were do you have the textile from? If you made the textile yourself, can I buy some? xD
Lovely greetings from the Land of those who are called german (I am not german. I am deutsch... so lovely greetings from Deutschland ^^)!
never knew vikings were the first to have actual socks
What is the name of the hoodie thing he puts on last?
Hood
In Germany we call that a 'Gugel'. According to google it translates to 'cowl'. Translating it backwards gave me something else, though related. It's basically a hooded shoulder cape. You usually wear it above the cape (if you have one, though the blanket he picked up last is prob not part of his outfit, but could be easily made into a rectangle cape with a pin), but you can also wear underneath if you want.
This one is made of wool, 2 rectangles and 2 squares just like the oldest one that was found (dated into the the very last years of the viking era to the first century after it, so some ppl like to argue that it's not viking clothing). Pretty easy to make.
What about women's clothes in the winter?
May be next winter ;)
@@marobud_reenactment please model them yourself, too
This is great, but I hope people don't confuse this with a completely accurate look with how long that belt is, in medieval times people wouldn't waste leather and belts were made to be one size fits one person, the belt would be fitted near perfectly and there would be no need of dangle leather.
and many Norse age people seem to have had footwrap pins/clasps to hold up the footwraps for other alternatives to tying it.
Quick question does your shoes keep your feet warm with one pair of socks
those are woolen socks, when i was a kid my grandma knitted a pair just like those and lemme tell you they're very warm and comfy on the foot and those leather shoes as long as they don't have holes in the soles or underneath are impermeable though you'd feel every stone and pebble you'll step on
Anyone who's done manual labor outside in the winter understands the importance of having multiple layers like that.
