| − | Tunics are the basic garment for the viking age. Both men and women worn tunics with long tapered sleeves eased with small square gores. The neckline was often a key hole, although women's could be square or rounded. Women's tunics and under tunics were longer then men's typically ankle length. Men's were instead knee length, paired with trewes or straight leg breaches.

| − | Women of the viking age have a signature garment called an apron dress or [[Smokker]] in swedish. It resembles in many ways a modern sundress with inch wide straps secured with round or oval brooches. The garment was without closures other, and was pulled on over the head. Instead of being fitted it was secured with a slim belt and embellished with [[embroidery]] or strings of colorful glass beads and metal findings.

| − | ===Irish Dress=== | |
| − | Irish dress from the period is marked by large voluminous sleeves on the [[chemise]], called a [[Leine]] worn by both men and women. Over this men worn a [[Kilcommon]] jacket. it was a variation on a [[Doublet]] with thin sleeves the lay open over the undershirt. Earlier men might wear a [[Inar]] Jacket. Close fitting and made of wool, the Inar was kite shaped and reached the waist. It was decorated with [[tablet woven]] strips at the hem, neck, and sleeves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The tunic of Ireland is called the [[Ionar]]. It was worn by both men and women, over a leine. Women's were typically longer, but not as long as their chemise. Men's were shorter, barely longer than their hips.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Men and women both wore stockings or [[Trewes]] or [[Tuis]] on their legs, trewes would be held up by points attached to the small clothes. The could be plain or striped. There is no evidence of party colored hose. Women's [[stockings]] were held up with [[tablet woven]] or [[leather]] garters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Women had more variation of dress in Ireland with front and back lacing kirtles. The Irish version of the kirtle is often called the [[Shinrone Gown]]. It had the popular open hanging sleeves of the period and spiral laced in the front. It had a waist seam and four large gores.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Outter wear ran strongly to [[cloaks]]; the unfitted version, which had no hood called a [[brat]] and a more fitted version that could have a hood called a [[Fallaing]]. Illustrations show what could have been a mantle as falling to waist length or to just below the knee. It seems to have been closed down the front to about waist level and to have been put on over the head of the wearer as it is not shown with any brooches for fastening.

| − | =====Colors=====
| |
| − | The most commonly used dyes of the period were [[madder]] ( reds, pinks, rusts etc. ) [[weld]] ( yellows ) and [[woad]] ( blue ). There have been many [[textile]] finds from around Ireland showing traces of these dyes. While some of the textiles have been of a single colour, others have been found which have combined bands or squares of contrasting colour in the weave. (There is no evidence for tartan). We know that the Vikings imported large quantities of highly coloured cloth of [[wool]], [[linen]] and [[silk]] to augment the home produced material. The most common colours found in Dublin have been reds and [[purples]]. We also know from annalistic accounts that the Irish deliberately raided Dublin and Limerick for their cloth supplies.
