Alaric Viking Cloak: Bold Style and Practical Warmth in a Historic Design

Material:

80% wool and 20% nylon

The Viking cloak was an indispensable garment, valued for its warmth, protection, and adaptability. Inspired by the cloaks worn by the Norse, the "Alaric" Viking Cloak captures these qualities with a design that combines historical authenticity with modern durability.

Crafted from a 320 GSM (grams per square meter, which indicates the weight of the fabric) blend of 80% wool and 20% nylon, this cape is woven in a traditional diamond weave, offering strength and a textured look. The wool provides warmth and breathability, while the added nylon increases durability, making the cape ideal for both reenactments and practical everyday use. The striking blue and black color scheme adds a touch of historical style, reminiscent of the bold hues of Viking and Anglo-Saxon cultures.

The design of this cloak allows for various wearing styles, from slung over the shoulder to fastening it with a brooch, as the Vikings would have done. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of characters, whether a Norse warrior, an Anglo-Saxon traveler, or a medieval nobleman.

Available in one size, the Alaric cloak is designed to fit a wide variety of body types, ensuring comfort and functionality for all wearers. Perfect for LARP, SCA events, and reenactments, this piece brings historical charm and practicality to any outfit, making it an essential addition to Viking and early medieval attire.
