  • Hedeby Harbour, Germany (9th-11th C): Multiple fragments were found that Hagg interprets to be from wrap around coats (Klappenrock).
Fragment 11: This fragment is of natural brown 2/2 twill and forms the bottom part of the right, front flap of a wrap around coat. On the reverse of the fragment there are remnants of the lining, made up from three different bits of cloth of differing weave and colour, and was probably made from parts of old, discarded clothing. [HAGG 1984:p.73]
Fragment 76: This is another fragment from the front of a coat similar to Frag. 11. Small particles of copper alloy were found in one area of the coat, probably from a belt. Hagg thinks this fragment may have been the lining of a coat. [HAGG 1984:p.83]
Fragment 19: This is a smaller fragment probably from the edge of the coat with an edge of piled fabric with long tuffts (2-3cm). [HAGG 1984:p.76]
Fragment45A-B:
  • Mammen
  • Taplow
  • Birka, Sweden: Ring pins were found at the right hip in four graves (BJ 1057, 471, 750, 643) In grave 976 the pin was at the left hip. Though whether these fastned wrap around coats, cloaks or anothe garment is unknown. [THUNMARK-NYLEN 1984:p.11]

Archaeology

  • Birka, Sweden: 5 graves (BJ 716, 752, 944, 985, 1074) contained buttons from a kaftan style coat. The buttons are of copper alloy, except for BJ 985 where they are lead. The buttons run from the neck to the waist, and not further [HAGG 1986:p.68]. In two of the graves (BJ 716, 1074) the coat was worn with a studed belt of eastern type. [JANSSON 1986:p.92]
