Fur & faux fur

Viking fur collars have become an indispensable component within historical reenactment, LARP, and traditional craft clothing. In the colder regions s of Scandinavia, fur collars were historically a practical means of retaining warmth during long journeys, trade trips, and winters that could last for months. Nowadays, they are not only a functional addition but also a stylish element that instantly provides an authentic Viking appearance.

A Viking fur collar is typically worn over a cloak, caftan, or woolen clothing, where the natural shapes and colors of the fur enhance the rugged appearance of a warrior or trader. Historical findings suggest that the Vikings used both local fur and imported animal hides, depending on their social status and trade contacts. This results in a wide range of styles in modern interpretations: from subtle sheepskin collars to impressive fox or imitation fur variants for a more dramatic effect.

For LARP players, reenactors, and Cosplayers, a fur collar offers not only realism but also comfort. Fur – both real and synthetic – provides pleasant warmth without restricting freedom of movement.
