Gloves

Discover our handmade Viking gloves, sewn by hand from natural wool for warmth and historical accuracy.

Did Vikings wear gloves?

Yes. Archaeological finds and pictorial sources confirm that Vikings and other early medieval peoples wore gloves in cold climates. Wool gloves were a practical item for warriors, sailors and travellers operating in the harsh northern environment. Our Viking gloves are hand-sewn from natural wool following period-accurate construction methods.

What material are Viking gloves made from?

Historical Viking gloves were most commonly made from wool — warm, naturally water-resistant and widely available in the Norse world. All Othala Craft gloves are sewn from 100% natural wool with hand-finished seams, making them both functional and historically accurate.

Are Viking gloves suitable for LARP and reenactment?

Yes. Our wool gloves are ideal for outdoor historical events, reenactment and LARP in cold conditions. They complement tunics, cloaks and hoods from our collection to create a complete Viking Age outfit. All items are in stock and ready to ship worldwide.
