Viking cap "Forseti" – Authentic woollen cap for re-enactment and everyday wear
The ‘Forseti’ Viking cap is a meticulously crafted headwear accessory modelled on historical finds from Haithabu and Birka – two of the most significant Viking towns of the early Middle Ages. Made from 100% wool, this hat combines an authentic Viking-era appearance with a level of craftsmanship that meets modern standards. The cap consists of four wedge-shaped pieces of fabric joined together, finished with a colour-coordinated band – a classic design modelled on the original, which brings the spirit of bygone times to life.
Headwear was an indispensable part of everyday clothing for both men and women during the Viking Age. Caps of this design were historically worn exclusively by men and have been handed down in various forms – from simple models to versions trimmed with fur. The “Forseti” cap draws on this tradition and makes it accessible to the modern wearer without compromising on historical authenticity. Made from natural wool, it also offers genuine comfort and reliable protection against the cold.
Whether at a medieval market, in a Viking camp, at a re-enactment or in everyday winter life – the ‘Forseti’ woollen cap is the ideal choice for anyone who values natural materials, craftsmanship and a design that reflects history. It is available in various colours and can be combined perfectly with other elements of a harmonious Viking outfit.
