The Erik Woolen Viking Tunic: Warmth, Mobility, and Sustainability in a Historical Design

Material: 100% reclycled wool

Tunic-style garments were essential to Viking and Anglo-Saxon wardrobes, providing warmth, durability, and ease of movement for everyday life and long journeys. The traditional gore and gusset construction allowed for a comfortable fit, offering flexibility that was particularly valuable for warriors and travelers.

This woolen Viking tunic captures those historic qualities, crafted from 100% recycled wool at 350 GSM (grams per square meter, indicating fabric weight) to provide insulation and durability. The recycled wool not only ensures warmth in cooler weather but also brings an eco-friendly touch, aligning with modern sustainability practices. This medium-weight wool is ideal for LARP, SCA, and reenactment events, delivering comfort and authenticity without added bulk.

The inclusion of historical gores—triangular fabric inserts along the sides—widens the hem for easier movement, while gussets under the arms allow greater flexibility in the shoulders, perfect for active characters. These construction details create a flowing, historically accurate silhouette, ensuring wearers can perform a wide range of activities comfortably.

Inspired by the practical needs of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons, this tunic reflects both heritage and modern values. The use of recycled wool not only makes it an excellent choice for historical reenactors but also appeals to those who prioritize eco-conscious materials in their gear.

Ideal for cooler weather and medieval adventures, this tunic offers an authentic yet sustainable option for anyone seeking a blend of historical accuracy, comfort, and environmental responsibility.
