Most of the Norse clothing we know about seems to come from burials. However, in many cultures, bodies dressed for burial are wearing either "good" clothes, or special clothes for the dead. Is there any evidence to suggest that ordinary, everyday wear for Norsemen (or, indeed, Norse women) was different to that which we see in excavated graves?

A less fancy version of the burial clothes. Tunic-usually wool, leggings, also wool, fur cloak, and leather or fur boots. |
