The appearance and cut of this tunic are based on an archaeological find dating back to the 11th century. In 1984, during excavations in Viborg (Denmark), a bundle of fabric glued to canvas was discovered. As it turned out, these were individual fragments that could be put together to form a tunic. Only the back and sleeves have not been preserved in their entirety and leave a bit of room for interpretation.
The tunic has a very elaborate and unique cut for the time. The upper part of the fuselage is worked in two layers at the front and back and has a rectangle from which the seams protrude diagonally. The neckline is equipped with two slits and drawstrings. The arm ball is cut straight and is complemented by a reinforcement in the armpit area. The sleeve is made up of a total of three pieces of pattern and tapers towards the hem. The side seams are slit, with the back reaching a few inches above the front, covering the top of the slit.
Our cotton tunic is a unique reconstruction of the Viborg tunic of the Middle Ages. We place special emphasis on the correct cut of the dividing seams, the finishing in the details and the correct proportions. We have slightly lengthened the total length of the torso and sleeves for aesthetic reasons. Thus, our Viking tunic has long sleeves and the hem ends at the thigh height. The elaborate tunic can be worn as both an upper and lower tunic. The fabric (100% cotton) is medium firm and double-layered in the torso area.
The tunic is the perfect cloak for all Nordics. For an authentic outfit, we recommend pairing it with a belt, calf wraps, and ear pants.
