“Ingvar the Sailor” Viking Tunic

Warm woolen tunic with trim and accents

Ingvar the Sailor's origin from a modest coastal settlement offers a glimpse into the dreams that shaped his future. His dreams painted vivid pictures of maritime exploration, echoing the legendary feats of ancient seafarers. These dreams told about journeys to the distant shores, Northern Lights, and adventurous expeditions through the fjords, guided by the rising sun.

In this update of the "Viking" collection, we present another solution to confront the unforgiving climates of the North, enabling extended travels and heightened endurance, all without the warm hearth. "Ingvar the Sailor" tunic is crafted from high-quality wool, a textile well-known for adapting to precipitation and moderate meteorological conditions. The design that underscores the "Ingvar the Sailor" tunic traces its roots to the historical 'Kragelund' finding. It preserves the T-tunic silhouette and boasts expansive gussets beneath the arms, facilitating unhindered movement and narrowing towards the wrists. A mid-thigh length adorned with front and rear slits gives the wearer a sense of spaciousness, comfort, and freedom of movement.

The feature of this tunic lies in its composition – wool. Wool exhibits remarkable adaptability to varying climates, offering breathability in warm conditions, resistance to moisture during misty interludes, and insulation against the cold. As an organic textile, wool aligns seamlessly with historical authenticity. The craftsmanship of the seams, either highlighted or concealed, attests to its enduring quality, designed to withstand the test of time.

The Viking penchant for ornate embellishments finds expression in embroidery and woven trim, serving multiple purposes such as protection against evil forces, reinforcement of seam integrity, and aesthetics. In adherence to this tradition, the "Ingvar the Sailor" tunic offers a selection of contrasting trim thoughtfully chosen to complement the wool. Our exclusive Viking trims, borne from the creative minds of our artisans, draw inspiration from historical knotwork and Viking artistry. They highlight the neckline, enhance the hems of the sleeves, and garnish the lower hem of the tunic.
