This is how an Anglo-Saxon man dressed |
How do we know what Anglo-Saxon men wore? We cannot be sure exactly what an Anglo-Saxon man would have worn, but we can make a guess based on objects found in graves, from drawings in Anglo-Saxon books and images on objects. He wore wool or linen trousers. A tunic made of linen and then a thicker tunic made of wool on top of that. He would wear a belt at his waist which would have his knife and pouch hanging from it. He would also wear leather shoes. Men did not wear much, if any, jewellery. |
