It only covers the head and one shoulder — and that’s all it needs
A deep hood extended by an asymmetrical shoulder piece that covers only one side, fastened across the chest with three metal buckles. Soft faux leather, visible topstitching on the top of the hood. Available in distressed brown and black.

What makes this piece unique
- Wear it all evening long: where a long cape gets caught on everything, this one doesn't hinder your arms or legs. It's the piece you keep on from start to finish.
- Asymmetry is the design: the shoulder piece covers only one side, and the three buckles run diagonally. It is this imbalance that makes the silhouette recognizable from a distance.
- Combines with everything: over a tunic, a jacket, or a simple dark sweater — it transforms an outfit without requiring a specific one.

Did you know?
The hood did exist in the North, but separated from the cloak: it was the hetta. The Skjoldehamn bog in Norway yielded a complete wool example from around the year 1000; the Bocksten Man in Sweden wore one with a long liripipe three centuries later. However, one detail separates these finds from the piece you are looking at: they are all made of wool. No leather hood has been historically attested, for practical reasons — wool stays warm even when wet, whereas leather hardens and cracks as it dries. The buckled leather hood is a design from video games and cinema, and it embraces that.
To explore further, the rest of the wardrobe is in our Viking clothing section, and our fibulae and brooches will complete the look.

Is it real leather?
No, it is soft faux leather lined with polyester. The buckles and loops are metal.
Did the Vikings wear this kind of hood?
They wore a separate hood, the hetta, but made of wool. No leather hood is attested: leather stiffens as it dries, while wool stays warm when wet.
Does it cover both shoulders?
No, only one. The shoulder piece is asymmetrical and fastens diagonally with three buckles: that is how the piece is designed, not a defect.
Which size should I choose?
Sizes range from S to 5XL, but the three buckles make up for much of the difference. Take your usual top size.
