A Piece of Living History

FROM HAITHABU'S HARBOR TO YOUR WARDROBE

Historical Legacy
Haithabu (Hedeby), the bustling crossroads of the Viking world (8th-11th century), has provided us with exceptional insights into Norse clothing construction. Our tunic design draws directly from the settlement's remarkable textile finds, particularly fragments 72 A & B, which showcase the distinctive curved armhole construction unique to this trading center. These invaluable fragments, along with pieces 64 & 65, reveal not just garment construction methods, but the practical ingenuity of Viking Age craftspeople.

Authentic Craftsmanship
Each tunic is entirely hand-sewn using techniques documented in Haithabu's textile remains. From the characteristic stitching patterns preserved in fragments 64 & 65 to the gore placement evidenced in harbor finds S14 & S15, every element reflects the archaeological record. We use only natural materials, matching those found in Haithabu's textile fragments, ensuring your garment is as authentic as it is functional.

Documented Techniques from 8th-11th Century Textile Finds

VIKING AGE CONSTRUCTION METHODS ✨ Archaeological Evidence in Every Stitch

Body Construction: The Haithabu Innovation
While Birka shows simpler rectangular construction, Haithabu's extensive textile collection reveals sophisticated tailoring evolution. Fragments 72 A & B showcase the distinctive curved armhole design, while fragments 11 & 12 demonstrate advanced panel-joining techniques. Settlement finds 82 A-D provide evidence of precise fabric cutting methods that maximized the use of valuable handwoven textiles.

Historical Construction Details:

🧵 Stitching Techniques

• Hand-sewn seams documented in fragments 64 & 65, showing seams with 3-5mm running stitches, 4-6mm backstitches, and 8-10mm seam allowances
• Curved armhole construction preserved in fragments 72 A & B, featuring 2-3mm reinforcement stitching along the distinctive curve
• Sleeve attachment methods evidenced in fragments 69 & 70, demonstrating 4mm even stitch spacing throughout
• Edge finishing techniques documented in fragments 48 & 49, showing precise 2mm whipstitches
• Panel joining methods from harbor settlement finds 91 & 92, revealing consistent 4-5mm stitch length

📏 Gore & Panel Construction
Evidence from Haithabu's harbor settlement guides our work:
• Gore placement techniques preserved in fragments S14 & S15, showing precise 45-50 degree angles
• Panel alignment methods documented in fragments 82 A-D, demonstrating widths of 45-50cm
• Hem construction details from harbor finds 101 & 102, featuring 12-15mm depth
• Neckline treatment preserved in fragments 75 & 76, showing 18-20cm opening

Our color selection reflects actual Viking Age textile findings:

White - LCP 03/01

Achieved through traditional bleaching methods documented in Viking Age settlements. This labor-intensive process of repeated washing and sun-exposure created highly valued cloth.

Beige LCP - 86/01

Matching the natural aging patterns observed in preserved Viking Age textile fragments.
