Men's cloack from Bocksten
This short cloak from late 12th-13th century was found together with a
tunic, hose and a hood. It was made from 2 pieces of fabric 60cm-wide
and some leftovers. Judging by the length of other garments, it was
probably made for a man approximately 155-165 cm tall, so as to end
just a bit above the knee. It was probably worn with the opening over
the right arm.
