How the Vikings Dressed

I've always thought they dressed like Kirk Douglas in that movie.

Vikings did not dress the way we thought: "Vivid colors, flowing silk ribbons, and glittering bits of mirrors - the Vikings dressed with considerably more panache than we previously thought. The men were especially vain, and the women dressed provocatively, but with the advent of Christianity, fashions changed, according to Swedish archeologist Annika Larsson."

I think this jane stumbled on the closet of Dirk, the one who stayed behind while the others were off pillaging and looting.
