This garment was worn in several different ways, some modified with an unusually low neckline fastened by either a trefoil or circular brooch. The coat was speculated to be worn this way to allow the wearer to show off their more elaborate oval dress brooches. Coats of this style are attributed solely to the Eastern regions, where they are referred to as caftans or kaftans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA common misconception about this find was the presence of small studs thought to be buttons; it is much more likely that they were used as mounts for silk and precious metal posaments that decorated the breast. While cloaks and shawls were much more common at the time, this versatile coat would have shown the wearer to be wealthier than average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e300 - 1200 CE. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/thorsberg-trousers\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/thorsberg-trousers\"\u003eThorsberg Trousers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e900 - 1000 CE. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/birka-coat\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/birka-coat\"\u003eBirka Coat\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e900 - 1000 CE. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hedeby-and-bernuthsfeld-tunic\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/hedeby-and-bernuthsfeld-tunic\"\u003eHedeby and Bernuthsfeld Tunic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1000 - 1100 CE. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/haithabu-dress\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/haithabu-dress\"\u003eHaithabu Dress\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1000 - 1200 CE. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/skjoldehamn-hood\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/skjoldehamn-hood\"\u003eSkjoldehamn Hood\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1100 - 1200 CE. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/viborg-tunic\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/viborg-tunic\"\u003eViborg Tunic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"birka-coat-aslaug-grey","title":"Birka Coat Aslaug Grey","description":"Our Viking Birka Coat Aslaug represents an interpretation based on finds from a woman's grave in Birka (Sweden).
