Viking kaftan "Hilda the Haughty"

Limited edition embroidered felted wool Viking winter coat

Introducing our exclusive "Hilda" coat, a limited edition winter kaftan crafted from high-quality blue felted wool. Not to be confused with wool felt, this soft and dense fabric has woven threads and is solid and durable. With handmade embroideries of fantasy birds at the neckline and hem, this opulent piece combines modern manufacturing opportunities with a historical appearance. The contrasting linen bordering highlighted with hemp rope adds a touch of antiquity, concealing machine seams for an authentic look. The bright handmade stitching along the coat details connecting seams serves the same idea and works even better if you have bright red hair, as can be seen in photos :) For other color types, we offer the green stitching option – please, contact our customer support manager to discuss the option. Embrace the spirit of Viking art with ornate motifs inspired by knotwork and birds, meticulously applied by master embroiderers.

Let's pay precise attention to the embroidery, as it's a masterpiece worth thorough appraisal. In case you also have the "I can't even imagine how long it takes to embroider all that!" kind of thoughts, we are here to answer – it usually takes our highly professional embroideress around 61 hours to finish the four motifs for one kaftan. We've deliberately selected each of numerous shades of the cotton mouline thread to get this eye-catching result that matches precisely the colors used in our exclusive Viking series "Ducks" trim.

The coat is designed for chilly weather and pays homage to Viking heritage, featuring a simple yet flattering pattern that accentuates the waistline and silhouette. With a wide open neck, the coat allows for versatile styling with a fur shawl or a woolen hood, providing additional protection against the cold and wind. The flax linen lining adds extra comfort to touch to the interior. The knee-length design, long sleeves, natural flax linen lining, and secure front closure with brass clasps offer comfort and style. This coat is not just a garment but a wearable piece of art, capturing the essence of the Viking era with exclusivity, warmth, and style.
