Geborduurde Viking kaftan, blauw Odin The grip and the bladeThis early medieval Viking kaftan is made of sturdy cotton canvas and fully lined. The beautifully embroidered border features a knot motif, also known as a Celtic knot, and is inspired by the edge of the statue stone of Lrbro on Gotland. The coat has a close fitting cut around the upper body and rises towards the hem. Pockets have been added to the side seam at hip height. As a kaftan, this garment does not have a closure, so we recommend wearing it
