by Angus Patterson
Of all the riches of the sixteenth-century European nobleman, none spoke more powerfully of his heroism, wealth, and taste than his armor, clothing, and weapons.

Viking: Dress, Clothing, Klaer, Garment
by Nille Glaesel
From Nille Glaesel's Introduction:
For many years I have worked with textiles, making Viking clothes and shoes. I have also tanned leather and worked with a reconstruction of Osebergrevlene for the Viking Museum, Lofotr.

Viking Clothing
by Thor Ewing
Contrary to popular myth the Vikings had a reputation for neatness and their fashions were copied far beyond the realms of Scandinavia. Those who could afford to displayed a love of fine clothes made from silks, from lightweight worsteds in subtly woven twills, and from the finest of linens. They wore short hair and their beards were carefully trimmed.
This accessible new book is the first to tackle the question of what the Vikings wore, ...
