Viking Hood from Hedeby | Clothing Tutorial

In this video we’ll cover how to make a Viking Age hood based on a textile fragment found at the Hedeby (Haithabu) Harbour settlement, in Denmark. There is some controversy around the original “hood fragment“ but we’ll cover that discussion so you can be informed if this hood is the right style of fashion for your Viking outfit. We will also take into account other archaeological finds of hoods from the medieval period before beginning construction. We’ll also take a look at the proposed shape of the hood, how to measure your head & shoulders, construction, and finishing touches.
