This Viking hood is a simplified version, made from the historical source found near Skjoldehamn (port of Skjold) in a peat bog on the Norwegian island of Andøya.

In this version, there is no ridge effect above the head and no drawstrings at the back.

The hood has a nice fullness, which offer good protection from wind, rain and sun.

The front and back of the hood are sewn with a square gusset.

The hems seams are hand-stitched, with undyed linen thread.

This accessory is indispensable for the comfort of the medievalist.

The hood is sold separately, without accessories.
