Collection: Viking Cloaks

A Guide to Viking Cloaks

The cloak was a Norse essential - protection against wind and rain, and a mark of status draped over the shoulders at the hall. A modern Viking cloak brings that drama into soft, warm microfleece with all-over Norse artwork, ready for LARP battles, festivals, cosplay or simply keeping the cold out in style. Below is everything you need to choose the right one.

What makes these cloaks

• Hood. A full hood for warmth, weather and that unmistakable Viking silhouette.
• All-over Norse print. Wolves, runes, knotwork and Norse patterns printed across the whole cloak for an immersive look.
• Microfleece body. A soft, lightweight fleece that traps warmth without the bulk of heavy wool.
• Front fastening. A tie or clasp at the neck so you can throw it on over any outfit.

Fabric, fit and warmth

Microfleece is a fine polyester fleece that is soft, warm and quick-drying, and it takes all-over print vividly. These cloaks are cut generously and are largely unisex and one-size-friendly, made to drape over your shoulders and layer over other clothing rather than fit tight. They are lightweight and warm rather than fully waterproof, so they are ideal as a costume and cold-weather layer. Check each product page for length and fit details.

What they are made for

These cloaks suit LARP and reenactment, festivals and Halloween, cosplay, photo shoots and cosy nights in. The hood and all-over print make them an instant costume centrepiece, while the soft fleece means they are comfortable enough to wear for hours. Pair a cloak with a Norse sweatshirt or hoodie from our Viking sweatshirts and Viking hoodies to build a full outfit.

How to choose and care

Choose the print and colour that match your character or style, and if you want to layer heavily, favour the more generous cuts. To care for microfleece, machine wash cool inside out, avoid fabric softener and high heat, and hang or lay flat to dry so the fleece stays soft and the print stays sharp.
