Viking Pants from Hedeby | Clothing Tutorial

In this video we'll cover how to make a pair of baggy Viking pants based on a textile fragment found at the Hedeby (Haithabu) Harbour settlement, in Denmark. We will also take into account the fragment's details and other iconography from the Viking Age. We will then cover the construction, creating pleats, adding belt loops, and some finishing touches.
