Show here your Germanic warrior impression
Fair points, Jurjen. But its worth noting perhaps that modern cloths and fabrics (designed for houses and offices with central heating)are considerably lighter than cloths worn even 40 years ago. When I compare the weight of my suits to those of my father's WW2 uniform or suits, there is a major difference. Our experience of managing cold in this particular foggy corner of Europe is very different to even a generation ago.

Clearly the Flintstone look is over the top; but furs do seem to have been a real marker of the Germanic peoples- for example, some of the Latin writers' comments on Batavians, or Goths in later Roman times.
