Collection: Norse - Viking Sweatshirts

A Guide to Viking Sweatshirts

A Viking sweatshirt is the easy, everyday way to wear Norse style - warm, comfortable and covered in the wolves, ravens and runes of the sagas. Whether you want a bold all-over print or a cleaner front graphic, there is a design here for every kind of Norse fan. Below is everything you need to choose the right one.

Print styles

• All-over print (AOP). The design covers the entire garment, front, back and sleeves, for a vivid, edge-to-edge Norse look with no blank space.
• Front and chest prints. A single graphic - a wolf, raven, Mjolnir or rune circle - on a solid-colour sweatshirt for a cleaner, more understated style.
• Back and sleeve details. Some designs add runes or knotwork down the arms or across the back to complete the theme.

Fabric, fit and sizing

Our sweatshirts are made from comfortable cotton and polyester blends that hold their shape and colour wash after wash, with all-over-print styles using a smooth poly base that keeps the artwork sharp. Most cuts are unisex, so they suit men and women alike. Because fit can vary between styles, check the size guide on each product page and, if you like a looser fit, consider sizing up.

The designs and their meaning

Wolves stand for strength and untamed power, ravens for Odin's watchers Huginn and Muninn, Mjolnir for protection, and runes for the letters and lore of the Norse alphabet. For the stories behind the artwork, read our guide to Norse mythology symbols and their meanings.

How to choose and care

Pick the print level first - AOP for maximum impact, a front graphic for everyday wear - then the symbol that means the most to you. To keep the artwork looking its best, wash inside out on a cool cycle, avoid harsh bleach, and hang or lay flat to dry rather than using a hot tumble dryer. For a hood instead of a crewneck, see our Viking hoodies, and for warrior-women designs browse the shieldmaiden corner.
