• 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.

• Mammen

• Taplow

• Birka, Sweden: Graves where a ring pin or brooch was found at the right hip could be from fastening a wrap around coat.

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. In three of the graves (BJ 716, 752, 1074) the coat was worn with a studed belt of eastern type. [HAGG1986:p.68] [Jansson1986:p.78]
