Herringbone

What is Wiltshire Herringsbone?

Wiltshire Herringbone is a a woolen fabric in a herringbone weave with a soft feel and an elegant drape, manufactured exclusively for Burgschneider. The iconic herringbone weave is popular in modern portrayals of Vikings and other characters from the European Early Middle Ages. However, the pattern has also been discovered in much older textile findings—even in samples dating back to antiquity.

What characterizes Wiltshire Herringbone?

In winter,

Wiltshire Herringbone’s densely woven fibers allow the wearer to stay warm while simultaneously keeping dampness out, and even in summertime, the wool content provides a pleasant, cooling effect.

The blend of 60% wool, 37% polyester, and 3% nylon combines the advantageous qualities of both natural and artificial fibers: it minimizes the pilling found in pure wool fabrics and reduces their scratchy feeling on the skin, while at the same time ensuring greater resistance to tearing. This way, our Wiltshire Herringbone is ideally suited for sturdy medieval clothing and fantasy costumes.

  • Herringbone Woven Tunic Tyr - Black/Grey

    2 Review(s)

    Our Tunic Tyr Herringbone is a real eye-catcher. It is a long-sleeved tunic with a small slit neckline that can be embellished with a brooch, for example. It can be worn alone or with an under tunic. In terms of color our Winingas Asgar as well as our Skjoldehamm Cowl Knud, which are made of the same fabric, match it beautifully.

    The tunic as such is a very old garment, which evolved from two cloths worn rectangularly attached to the shoulders by brooches to a sewn together form with sleeves. From lower garment it became upper garment, depending on the time and class. Most often it was worn belted. Tunics can also vary greatly in length. Shorter tunics are more practical for work.
