Show here your Germanic warrior impression
Quote:And Yeah pretty much every northern latitude culture I know of has incoporated fur into their wardrobe somehow....at least before agriculture......---john

Again, references, please. This statement is all to easily made, it see it on more place (books, re-enactors, etc) but haven't find any good scientific evaluation of such a statement. (although it might be there, of course, as I know of sources for use of fur in ancient time, although I wouldn't generalize!)

I'm even told, by a re-enactor who says he knows his stuff, that every 'viking' or 'merovingian' clothing item was finished with fur edging. Well, I don't know much about viking nor Merovingian period or clothing, but I found such a statement very unrealistic.
