A replica of Viking-era dress and cloaks on display at the Danish National Museum in Copenhagen. No complete Viking clothes remain but researchers have been able to make educated guesses about what Vikings wore from paintings and fragments of cloth found in graves. Since the well-off generally had more elaborate graves and were depicted in paintings, much more is known of the clothing of royalty than of peasants. The dress this replica was based on was made of very fine, soft wool. The outfit had an inner and outer cloak. The inner cloak was made of 11 lamb skins. The outer cloak was made from larger, coarser fleeces.
