Birka Cap with Herringbone Pattern, blue

Viking Cap from Birka with Herringbone pattern, blue

This cap is made of sturdy cotton fabric with a woven herringbone pattern and a colour contrasting brim made of canvas. The inside of the cap is lined with a light cotton fabric.

Throughout the Middle Ages, headdresses were very common for both men and women. However, caps of this type were only worn by men. They existed both in a plain version and with a fur trim. Evidence for this particular cut is confirmed by finds from the archaeological sites of Hedeby and Birka.

As authentic as possible, as modern as necessary!
This Viking cap is part of Battle-Merchant's line of period clothing and medieval garments for men, women and children. From the first sketch to the last stitch, this garment was planned, designed and handcrafted with particular attention to detail. Our clothes are modeled (sometimes accurately, sometimes less so) on historical examples, grave finds and original museum pieces where they exist. We always endeavour to keep the necessary adjustments to today's standards, e.g. in terms of size and manufacturing process, to a minimum. Just see for yourself!
