The Bjorn Viking coat is distinguished by its characteristic triangular flaps at the front, which are folded over and secured with a belt. The design is inspired by historical finds from Hedeby and warrior depictions on helmets from Sutton Hoo and Valsgård. The coat is made of sturdy, lined cotton canvas and has a loose fit, allowing for the authentic layered look of the Early Middle Ages.
The red color is particularly suitable for portraying wealthy Vikings, as bright colors were considered expensive in the Viking Age and signaled high social status and prosperity. This makes this coat ideal for authentic reenactments, LARP, or historical portrayals of characters of high rank.
