{"title":"Viking Caps \u0026 Bandanas","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo ways to cover your head, and they are not worn the same way. The \u003cstrong\u003eViking cap\u003c\/strong\u003e stays on with an adjustable strap and keeps its shape: an embroidered Vegvísir, Yggdrasil on washed denim, a printed longship. The \u003cstrong\u003ebandana\u003c\/strong\u003e, for its part, ties at the back of the head — the knot does the tightening, nothing squeezes, and it fits under a helmet without making a bump. Everything comes in \u003cstrong\u003eone adult size\u003c\/strong\u003e: there is no size to choose on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCap or bandana: which one for which use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe question is not one of looks, it is a practical one. The two items solve different problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe cap\u003c\/strong\u003e has a brim, so it shields your eyes — from sun and light rain alike. It keeps its shape when you set it down, is adjusted once and for all with the back strap, and goes back on with one hand. It is the headwear for walking, driving and sitting out on a terrace. On the other hand, it takes up room in a bag, and its brim gets in the way as soon as you wear something on your head or lie down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe bandana\u003c\/strong\u003e protects you from nothing, but it does three things a cap cannot. It \u003cstrong\u003eholds back sweat and hair\u003c\/strong\u003e without any pressure point, because the tension is spread around the whole head instead of being concentrated on a strap. It folds into a pocket and is forgotten. And it \u003cstrong\u003efits under a helmet\u003c\/strong\u003e — motorcycle, construction site, climbing, reenactment — without creating the bump that a cap's seam inevitably causes. It is also the only one of the two that can be worn as a neckerchief, as a wristband or tied to a bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure: the cap for being outdoors, the bandana for being on the move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe three kinds of caps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe embroidered cap.\u003c\/strong\u003e The design is stitched into the fabric with thread, not printed on it. A white Vegvísir on a dark background, a raised Algiz rune. Embroidery has one decisive advantage over printing: it \u003cstrong\u003enever flakes\u003c\/strong\u003e, because there is no ink. It ages with the cap instead of aging faster than it. Its drawback is that it allows neither gradients nor fine detail — it is a technique of lines and flat areas of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe washed-denim cap.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cotton denim washed to give it a worn-in look from day one, in gray, khaki or sand. The design is more understated, often tone on tone. It is the softest of the three, the one that folds best, and the only one whose fabric keeps developing a patina over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe printed cap.\u003c\/strong\u003e A full-color design, bolder, capable of detail that no embroidery could render. It needs a little more care in the wash, since the print sits on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of them adjust at the back and fit a standard adult head size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe bandanas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA square of lightweight fabric, printed over its entire surface, to be tied however you need it. The designs feature the shop's major symbols — Vegvísir, gold Yggdrasil, Valknut, sun wheel, runic medallion — on muted backgrounds: charcoal, ecru, khaki green, sand, marled gray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree ways of tying it cover every need.\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cem\u003edoo-rag\u003c\/em\u003e: fold the square into a triangle, set the base on your forehead just above the eyebrows, bring both points behind your head, cross them under the back point and tie — this is the setup that holds best on the move. The \u003cem\u003eheadband\u003c\/em\u003e: roll the square into a strip three to four fingers wide and tie it at the side, to keep your forehead clear without covering the top of your head. The \u003cem\u003eneckerchief\u003c\/em\u003e: triangle to the front, knot at the nape of the neck, to pull up over your face in wind or dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne tip that avoids the classic mistake: \u003cstrong\u003etie it looser than your instinct tells you\u003c\/strong\u003e. A well-tied bandana stays put through the friction of the fabric on your hair, not through compression. Tied as tight as it will go, it leaves a mark on your forehead and ends up slipping anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Scandinavians wore on their heads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's start with what did not exist: \u003cstrong\u003ethe horned helmet\u003c\/strong\u003e. No archaeological find from the Viking Age has ever produced one. Only one complete Viking helmet has come down to us, the \u003cstrong\u003eGjermundbu\u003c\/strong\u003e helmet from Norway, discovered in 1943: a dome of four riveted plates, with a half-mask protecting the eyes and nose. No horns. The image comes from the costumes of Wagnerian opera and from the Romantic illustrations of the 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century. Our article on \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/armure-viking-cotte-mailles-casque-equipement\"\u003eViking armor\u003c\/a\u003e covers this equipment in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEveryday headwear, for its part, was mostly a \u003cstrong\u003ehood\u003c\/strong\u003e — the \u003cem\u003ehetta\u003c\/em\u003e, cut from wool, sometimes extended by a short cape over the shoulders. People also wore hats worked in \u003cstrong\u003enålebinding\u003c\/strong\u003e, a technique of loops knotted with a needle that predates knitting by several centuries and produces a denser, less stretchy fabric. The richest graves at Birka have yielded \u003cstrong\u003esilk caps\u003c\/strong\u003e trimmed with silver braid, and the Coppergate excavations in York a \u003cstrong\u003esilk cap\u003c\/strong\u003e from the 10\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century that had traveled a very long way — proof that the head was adorned as much as it was protected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe may as well say it plainly: \u003cstrong\u003ethe bandana is not a Viking object\u003c\/strong\u003e. It has no equivalent in the medieval Scandinavian wardrobe. It is a modern accessory that carries Norse designs here, and it claims to be nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe designs in the collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Vegvísir\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most common, embroidered on caps as well as printed on bandanas. It bears repeating, because it is rarely said: this eight-armed circle \u003cstrong\u003eis not Viking\u003c\/strong\u003e. It appears only in the \u003cem\u003eHuld manuscript\u003c\/em\u003e, a collection of Icelandic sigils compiled by Geir Vigfússon in \u003cstrong\u003e1860\u003c\/strong\u003e — eight centuries after the end of the Viking Age. A fine Icelandic magical tradition, but not an Old Scandinavian one. The details are in our article on \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/tatouage-vegvisir-boussole-viking-signification\"\u003ethe Vegvísir\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYggdrasil\u003c\/strong\u003e, the ash tree that links the nine worlds, is described in the \u003cem\u003eVöluspá\u003c\/em\u003e and by Snorri — but no medieval depiction of it has come down to us. The gold tree on the bandanas is a modern reconstruction, faithful to the texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe sun wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e points to imagery far older than the Viking Age: that of the \u003cstrong\u003eNordic Bronze Age\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose most famous witness is the Trundholm sun chariot, unearthed in Denmark and dated to around 1400 BCE — a gilded disc drawn by a bronze horse. The sun is one of the North's oldest obsessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Algiz rune\u003c\/strong\u003e (ᛉ) is embroidered on one of the caps. It is commonly presented as the rune of protection, and that is how it is understood today. An honest caveat: this reading owes a great deal to modern esotericism. The \u003cem\u003eAnglo-Saxon Rune Poem\u003c\/em\u003e, our oldest source on the meaning of the runes, describes it under the name \u003cem\u003eeolh-secg\u003c\/em\u003e, a marsh plant whose leaves cut the hand of anyone who grasps it the wrong way. The protection is real, but it bites. Our article on the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/futhark-ancien-alphabet-runique-viking-complet\"\u003eFuthark runic alphabet\u003c\/a\u003e goes through each sign and its sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Valknut\u003c\/strong\u003e, three interlocked triangles, is attested archaeologically — the Stora Hammars stones on Gotland, a bed from the Oseberg ship — but its name is a 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e-century Norwegian invention. And the name \u003cstrong\u003edrakkar\u003c\/strong\u003e is modern too: Scandinavians said \u003cem\u003elangskip\u003c\/em\u003e, the long ship.

The drum warps the brim — whose inner stiffener bends and never straightens again — and the rinse slackens the structure of the crown. Clean by hand: lukewarm water, mild soap, a soft brush on the stain, rinse with a damp cloth. Dry the cap \u003cstrong\u003eset on a round object\u003c\/strong\u003e the size of a head, an upturned bowl for example, so that it keeps its shape as it dries. Never in the dryer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn embroidered models, do not rub the thread when dry: it pills. On printed models, avoid any stain remover, which fades the print faster than the dirt would have dulled it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe bandanas\u003c\/strong\u003e wash normally, at 30 °C, with the rest of your colored laundry, without fabric softener. Air dry. Iron at a low temperature if you want a crisp fold — but a slightly wrinkled bandana ties better than an ironed one, which slips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the caps adjustable?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, all of them, with a strap at the back. They fit a standard adult head size and require no choice of size when you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre there sizes to choose on this page?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Caps and bandanas all come in one adult size. The only option offered on some product pages is the color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you tie a Viking bandana?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fold the square into a triangle, set the base on your forehead, bring the points behind your head, cross them under the back point and tie. Tie without pulling tight: the hold comes from friction on the hair, not from compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the bandana fit under a helmet?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, that is actually one of its main uses. Having neither a thick seam nor a strap, it creates no pressure point under the shell, unlike a cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a cap be machine washed?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The drum permanently warps the brim's stiffener. Hand wash, mild soap, dry on a rounded support to keep the shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmbroidery or print: what is the difference?\u003c\/strong\u003e Embroidery is stitched with thread: it does not flake and ages at the same rate as the fabric, but it allows neither gradients nor fine detail. Printing renders more complex, full-color designs, but it sits on the surface and needs more care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDid the Vikings wear caps?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. They wore wool hoods, hats worked in nålebinding, and for the wealthiest, silk caps. The brimmed cap and the bandana are modern objects that carry Norse designs here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the delivery times?\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow \u003cstrong\u003e10 to 20 working days in total\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 to 5 days of processing, then 7 to 15 days of delivery in mainland France, 10 to 20 days in the European Union.

The Gokstad ship features a row of supports along its gunwales where thirty-two shields were attached, painted alternately yellow and black. Archaeologists believe this was a parade arrangement, mounted when approaching a port or for a funeral ceremony: at sea, the shields would have obstructed the oars and caught sea spray.
