Here's Lodin in his, "Go'en to the Althing on Thor's day morning's best". Apparently he figures he'll still need some protection if they follow through bringing suit over those trespassing sheep. Lodin swears he'll skin his only thrall alive if this gets too expensive. All morning he's been grumbling that he never used to settle afairs with cash, when a sword or axe would have made swift settlement. Things aren't so anymore.
Althings aren't any better.
This linen tunic is made in the style of the "the Skjoldehamn kyrtle". It has four gores around the skirt and a "key hole" collar.
Another linen tunic, made in the style of the "the Skjoldehamn kyrtle" with typical four gores around the skirt and with a "V neck" collar. On the right you see the tunic in full sunlight.

Here is my new pouch, made with hack-silver ornaments, punched with typical period designs and gripping beast painted background.
The pouch is often referred to "the Birka pouch", after a find of similar design. The picture to the right shows the inside of the cover flap, where the back straps are seen. Those are used to rivet the ornaments onto the leather.
