It must be the time of year for such discussions...

Doing a grey army blanket Viking tunic for Z and he decided he wanted a Skjoldehamn style tunic (well, at least the standup collar bit). Sort of rush job for CF so not doing different striped fabric for the collar and the front patch. Also at this point skipping narrow woven bands on the cuffs, but will do the cording round the neck. Looks like a simple 3 strand plait or what? (colour images here, third picture down)*.

And in case anyone wants to have a go, the references also being used are:
A Tunic and Hood from Skjold Harbour for the best start.
And discussion here on pearl's LJ (this time last year) - for more, follow the skjoldehamn tag.
Marc Carlson's extant clothing page (will add link later)
As well as various printouts at home and stored on the computer which I can't exactly link to here.**

*No, I am not linking directly just to the picture when there is a nice discussion which someone has gone to the trouble of writing up. That's impolite...

** though may update at home if have time and can name sources.
