I make Viking clothing, and sell all over the world, but I enjoyed this. I think that the Vikings like all medieval, did all the work in the daylight, long hours of summer, all the food growing preparation preservation such as drying pickling etc. I think the winter months were far less busy. I think that in the winter the women especially would be doing all their weaving / naalbinding.
Having horses i feel the wintermonths are so busy cramming every thing in daylight.. and in summer there is so much to do in the field and enjoying long days. Somehow theres always room for crafts! Drop your shop here in the comments so others can find you and buy your stuff!!
So glad the algorithm decided I needed to see this video. I have a pattern for these "pants" and am now encouraged to make them. Great job on the pattern drafting by the way. Youre a braver person than I.
Haha 😂 you have no idea how long it too me to have a go at it! And things usually don’t work for me first time around so I got good at tweaking as I go🙈
The "go for it! Better done than not" is exactly what pushed me to try. Some lady at a fabric shop basically told me that it was almost not worth trying. Screw you lady I'll try and fail until I get something decent.
A great and inexpensive way of patterning and tweaking the fit. Make the paper pattern, then make a mock up out of muslin. It’s cheap and you can mark out any alterations directly on the muslin. Wool not being cheap, you can get the fit you desire ! Loved the video ♥️
That is a brilliant way of making a Thorsberg trouser pattern. I’ve never thought of that it’s a great idea. I’m going to give it a go. And you’re wrong the trousers look very good on you definitely do photo shoots. The bagginess in the seat is normal for riding a horse- I read somewhere while researching. People in those days were probably more concerned with function over form, but they still look good! Thanks for the great tutorial.
One thing I have yet to try - making clothing! The cut out bum part reminds me of climbers pants so you can stretch your legs to reach and not rip up the bum seam LOL
My youngest son (8) is half German and home educated, this coming year we are basing our entire curriculum on vikings and trees and I've made him some Viking outfits - interestingly he now will *only wear Viking pants that I have made him - they are the baggy type with big triangle type drop crutch, I done the traditional double fold and handsew down on all the seams so that they will last longer - I think it's this and the looseness that has him hooked as he has sensory processing issues, he now thinks all other pants are too tight and won't wear them.
🖤what a wonderful story. Modern garments especially jeans have a mix of synthetic fibres to try to make a tight fit more comfortable with just one type of cut for many different body shapes. Linen does that naturally and most handmade items are made to measure.
@@SigneofHorses can't wait to start my costume. Im wrking on building a costume including shoes all made by hand for reenactment group I'm looking to join. Thanks for the help! All Father Guide You!😁
As i remember the Thorsbergtrousersfind is previking age but possible they wore similar trousers in the early viking age but would adopt different trousers later on. Maybe there would be some overlap in time were they wore both types of trousers. But actually we sadly have only a small number of trousers found from the viking age. But Thorsbergertrousers are great. I know some people think you should only ware historical clothing as a periodcorrect outfit and they are also bothered by modern clothing partly inspired by different historical cloths but I think thats bullshit unless you want to make a dokumentary or make a show in a museeum or want to reenact an exact historical period at an event specificly for that. My thoughts on thorsbergertrousers are that they probabely werent specificly desined for malebodyshapes even if they were worn by men. We don‘t know if they were worn by men only but the trousers that came before often weren‘t worn only men but occasionaly also found as the garnments of at least biologicaly females. And i think all this trousers are more desined to give the werer as much flexibility as possible independent of his bodyshape than fitting a certain bodyshape so i think they diden‘t need ajustment to the femalebodyform as some younger trousers would. But just my opinion on the matter i diden‘t base it on any particular studie on the matter.
As far as I understand it... In the USA pants less formal trousers, things you would not wear into the office or to a nice dinner or get together. Trousers are what you would wear to the afore mentioned occasions, or you could also say "slacks." Underwear is underwear or undies. In Britain pants are underwear :)
I am thinking about using a rus viking trousers (made with black hot washed linen) on a motorcycle (obviously worn over a protective kevlar long john (long underpants) with armored patches over the knees and hips - and you thought viking reenactors are bad in the hassle and whine about attire departments) My thinking is the rus viking trousers are or at least can be) warm (because of the many pleats and layers of cloth - I am planning to go über baggy using the full width of the cloth - 140 ish cm - for one leg), they look cool, especially since my motorcycle is a Ukrainian build old timer circa 1968). I am even contemplating a water proofed version (either using the linseed oil or black silicon/turpentine method) What are your thoughts on rus viking baggy trousers on steel steeds ??
I am totally in love with this idea!! I have no clue about the hazard of flapping fabrics. My first thoughts are to use wool, that won’t burn but singe in case of contact with hot engine parts? Also you might want to keep your inner leg straight and have the pleats on the outside front and back of your leg. I have a pair like that and they make sitting in a saddle more comfortable. I think it is a grand idea to do a modern take on a classic design. Morgan Donner recently posted a video on punk trousers after an Edwardian or Victorian pattern.
Did nobody see she put the pattern together the wrong way? The straight seam of the leg part goes to the back of the trousers, and the curved side with the small strip in between is actually the front. You can also see this in the photo at 5:15, the seams right and left of the bum pad are actually completely straight and go down to the feet.
I had a look and I’m pretty sure o put it together the way I intended to. It’s very possible though that my version is way more curvy than the example I showed. I’m short and curvy and most men trousers are long and lean. I hope you managed to put together your pair the right way so it suit you.
Yes, maybe this is why it looks so weird... I needed to alter mine also quite a lot compared to the male original pattern (I made a mock up from it and could not move at all in the beginning)... I am not so super curvy, but still female... the owner of that pair must have been male and super skinny, otherwise he would not have fit into that pattern. Also, I used linen instead of wool (required by the use case) and I am actually right now hemming the last leg :-)
Any other trousers or pants you don’t use anymore preferable made from a fabric with a little stretch. They will do as wel. Otherwise it will be a load of measuring to draw up a pattern from scratch. Wouldn’t advise that for a beginner, but an experienced sewer can manage
After making a paper pattern. Make a mock up out of muslin. You can tweak and make adjustments, until you get the fit you want. Quality wool isn’t cheap. Good luck 👍🏻

"Off with the bow!" I love this video! You are my new favorite sewing channel.
Well wow! Thank you. High time to make some nee sewing videos then!
This is the first video I see of you. I hear a Dutch word '' Broek '' I am immediately sold!
Muts, sweater, broek, sokken!
Hahah! A fellow dutchie?!

Haha thank you.. I like making patterns this way for regular clothing too..
We say pants, but I say call them what you do and I will do the same. I have to say your hair style is awesome, really like it.
Your fun. And im going to make some trousers/pants. Lol. 😆 I love the viking era.
Thnx!! Good luck in making these, hope they work out.

Danielle Ah makes sense now
I call them pants.
Denim==jeans or dungarees.
Some people say trousers.
Also slacks for ladies.
I love them and now I want to make some 😁

Hej Nederlander (Y) Skål från Sverige (Y) Great video like you hood video also .
Hej hej..
groetjes terug!😉
Searched for thorsberg trousers because I plan on making a pair for my bf. Good to know that the butt-part might have some extra space.
I added the butt bit last so I could adjust the fit.. :)
The DIY queen! Your hair looks great down! Oh yeah, love the bum shot too!! :)
Samuel Carroll Hihi..

The Scots might say trews. And a slang from Scots Gaelic is Breeks . Fantastic channel . Inspiring . Tusend tak

Really interesting to read.. I’m going to pin this one so everyone can read. We know so little and it’s sooo interesting.
Pants. Thanks for the pun.
Trousers! Thanks for the video :)
Thanks for voting for trousers and leaving a message.😊
Thanks shieldmaiden 😉😉
Hope you can make yourself some awesome thorsberg trousers!
It depends on which period I'm talking about. Modern day is pants/slacks. Trousers and breeches for 16th-ish century and older
Probably already said, as I'm 3 yrs behind, but yeah we say pants. We understand trousers though. LOL
in australia we say pants!
Funny you say broek..we say broka in my dialect, I am a Norwegian 😁
I love scandinavian languages!
Troosers in Scotland. As in "Donald wheres yer...?"
I’ll be saying troosers from now on..

skullarix thnx! That why it feels slighty akward saying pants.
Broek!!!!😊
VivaLaViolette broek!!
@@SigneofHorses hihihihi doet mij denken aan het liedje van Nostradames met z'n groene broek.....sto d hem goed😉
America pants..but our elderly always say trousers or slacks..funny shit
I say pants. From Oklahoma
pants from Oklhoma it is ;)
We call them pants or jeans in Australia.
Mostly pants and it’s a pair of pants and underwear is also called underpants
I call them leg sleeves
Hehehehehe best answer yet!
I appreciate that. I mean, otherwise someone might get them confused with arm hose.
Pants are casual...trousers are formal..like suits
Oh! Aha!
I call them calças... I'm from Portugal!
Hi there!! Portugees Viking Yay!
I call them pants if I refer to certain types like denim Jeans etc. But historical kinds I call them trousers
Well that is interesting! Does trousers sound more historical? I would think it would be breeches of hose.
Yeah true, both would work fine. And amazing work! Loving your channel :)
I think their clothing styles were cool but ill never wear them not in this century although I think arabs and East Indians wear the tunic still

Could be britches, breeches, or pants.
I have indeed settled on pants and breeches. Is the word britches more Scottish of Irish?
@@SigneofHorses I think the original word may have been braccae. We use britches in the USA.
Canada here we say pants
The Brit in me thinks of underwear when hearing pants :)

Did you cut the wool on the bias? Or is all the mobility coming from the pattern itself?
Good question! It wasnt cut on the bias, though the pattern cause partnof the inner leg to be more on the bias. Mobility is mostly due to the pattern.
Its trousers here in northern ireland
I’m reading this with my best Irish accent (*not very good)
@@SigneofHorses .. 😂 iam sure you sound grand
I say trousers (US) because my granny said trousers.
Well done Granny!
What do I do without some viking pajamas to start with 🤔
Any other trousers or pants you don’t use anymore preferable made from a fabric with a little stretch. They will do as wel. Otherwise it will be a load of measuring to draw up a pattern from scratch. Wouldn’t advise that for a beginner, but an experienced sewer can manage
@@SigneofHorses I'll give it a go
After making a paper pattern. Make a mock up out of muslin. You can tweak and make adjustments, until you get the fit you want. Quality wool isn’t cheap.
Good luck 👍🏻
Depants ahhhhhhhh
I call them hlače
Hhahahaha Kapot droog.
Trousers is the term for women's pants ..pants are mens pants ..
Pants merica
😂
First😂👍
I call them pants or slacks
Slacks is a slang word if I’m not mistaken.. funny how many words there are in English/American
