It was obtained through a reaction between \u003cstrong\u003eiron\u003c\/strong\u003e — bog iron, rusty nails — and \u003cstrong\u003etannin\u003c\/strong\u003e from oak galls or alder bark. The result was deep, but the reaction never stopped: it continued to \u003cstrong\u003eeat away at the fiber\u003c\/strong\u003e for decades. This is the reason why ancient black textiles have almost all disappeared — they destroyed themselves. Most garments that sources call \"black\" were in reality very dark browns or blues so dark they were indistinguishable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo go further, a Scandinavian cloak was not buttoned: it was fastened.
