We currently have five Skjoldehamn blankets finished and ready to ship.
The Skjoldehamn find was discovered on Andøya in northern Norway. The body was wrapped in a large checked wool textile, woven in 2/2 twill from dark brown and white wool.
Our Skjoldehamn blankets are made from 100% wool and hand-sewn in our workshop.
We also have a small number of other wool cloaks finished and ready to ship.
Available on our website. Link in bio.
A small number of Roman wool tunics with woven clavi are now available on our website.

On October 1, OldCraft will close its clothing workshop and stop retail fabric sales.
It has been 15 very different years.
During that time, we have grown, changed a lot, moved the workshop to two different countries, and had to start almost from scratch more than once.
Through all these years, we have always felt your support. We kept doing what OldCraft was created for: making historically based clothing from good materials, entirely sewn by hand.
But in recent years, running a small workshop has become harder and harder. Borders, customs, shipping, and constantly changing regulations have taken more and more time and energy.
The latest change was the new EU packaging regulation, PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40), which came into effect on August 12, 2026. Because of the new requirements, we have already had to stop selling to private customers in the European Union.
We will still accept orders until the end of September from countries we can ship to. So if there is something you have wanted to order from OldCraft, this is the time to do it.
We are very sorry that our customers in the EU can no longer place a final order with us.
But the weaving workshop will continue!
We will keep weaving wool and working with other workshops and businesses. We hope that our fabrics — and garments made from them — will eventually become available through other makers.
Thank you to everyone who has been with us over these 15 years. To those who ordered from us, came back, wrote to us, sent photos, recommended our work, or simply followed what we were doing.
Hugs to you all
Before many of the garments we make today existed, there were looms, wool yarn and a lot of time spent learning how to make historically grounded, high-quality wool fabric.
Over the years, clothing became a larger part of our work. But weaving never disappeared.
This year, most of the fabric we use for our garments is once again being woven in our own workshop.
And now we have finally reached a point where we can produce enough not only for our own work, but for other makers as well.
In the next few days, we will begin offering OldCraft wool fabric by the metre.
For us, it feels both like a new beginning and a return to where OldCraft started.
Selected garments from different periods are currently available with 10–15% off, including trousers, tunics, hoods and outer layers.
Every garment is fully hand-sewn in our workshop, made to individual measurements, and many are made from wool woven in our own workshop.
If you were planning to add a new piece to your historical kit, the offer is available for a few more days.

The Thorsberg trousers are based on a find from northern Germany, dated to the 1st–3rd centuries AD and associated with early Germanic material culture.
Their construction is also relevant to other areas of reenactment. A 4th-century wall painting from the Roman tomb at Durostorum shows a servant carrying fitted trousers with attached feet, belt loops and a belt with a buckle — features closely comparable to the Thorsberg construction. For this reason, the Thorsberg cut is also used in Late Roman reconstruction.
Textile fragments from Hedeby show similarities in the shape of the pieces, seam placement and fabric structure. This also supports the use of the Thorsberg construction for Viking Age interpretations connected with Hedeby.
The cut itself is complex: separate leg sections are joined with additional front and back pieces, together with a shaped waistband and belt loops.
We make this model with attached feet or without them. Each pair is fully hand-sewn in our workshop and made to individual measurements.
Until August 10, the Thorsberg trousers are available with 15% off.

Three garments based on textile finds and archaeological sources from Hedeby.
The Hedeby hood is one of the most requested pieces in our workshop, with a distinctive and easily recognisable silhouette. Its narrow folded construction is completed by a tubular tip and additional gores that cover the shoulders.
As an alternative to trousers, the Hedeby hose closely follow the shape of the leg and are secured by a cord at the waist.
As the outer layer, the klappenrock completes the kit with its overlapping front and asymmetrical cut. It is available in two fabric weights: dense grey wool for protection from cold and wind, and lighter wool in muted natural shades for warmer weather.
Until August 10:
Hedeby hose — 15% off
Hedeby hood — 15% off
Hedeby klappenrock — 10% off
