This Viking hood combines historical design with high-quality workmanship and practicality. Thanks to its simple cut, it can be combined with a variety of different outfits, whether as part of a Viking costume, a Medieval outfit, or as a fitting accessory for LARP or re-enactment.
The shape and the design of the cowl are based on an archaeological find from Norway, dated between the 10th and 12th century. Characteristic features include the pointed hem with an insert square piece on the chest – details that also define the original find from Skjoldehamn.
Made from a strong cotton, the hood impresses with its unique used look, created through a special washing process. Raw edged, visible repair stitches at the chest, and hand-embroidered crosses on the hood and neckline emphasise its rugged, timeworn character – as if it has already been worn many times before.
The gugel is worn like a separate hood and covers the head, neck and shoulders, fitting comfortably without feeling restrictive. A small drawstring at the back allows for an individual fit and ensures it stays securely in place .
Although the gugel doesn’t originate directly from the Viking Age, it has become a popular addition to Viking attire for both men and women. It also fits in perfectly with early and high medieval garments.
