Viking Man

Viking Male Clothes

Viking men wore clothes very similar to Anglo-Saxon men.

We cannot be sure exactly what an Viking man would have worn, but we can make a guess based on objects found in graves, from drawings on rune-stones and images on objects.

They wore wool or linen trousers. A tunic made of linen and then a thicker tunic made of wool on top of that. They would wear a belt at the waist from which hung a knife and pouch. They also wore leather shoes. Viking men wore some jewellery, including finger-rings, bracelets/arm-rings and pendants. Vikings were particularly fond of silver jewellery.
