Looking good. The leather kilt works well with the viking helmet.

Haha, that's a wonderful costume, historically accurate or not!

Back to the thread at hand,

Ron that is a good looking costume. You should wear it more often.

I had believed all these years that Vikings wore horns on their helmets.

Jeez...I never knew....is this a great board or what...??

All I know is I ran into that horned furry helmet at some Ren Faire or something and went into that "fog"....next thing I knew my wallet was lighter and I people were looking at me weird...and getting into vendor tents was a challenge with the extra altitude.

It do go good with the UK brown leather kilt though.

And, hey, shouldn't someone tell that football team in Minnesota too....boy are they gonna be disappointed...

No, no, no. Vikings did NOT have horns on their helmets

Odin knows who started that nonsense in films and cartoons...

Antlers then?

Nice costume Ron.

Everyone knows that True Norwegians wear their horns on the inside! That's one of they very many "Norwegian jokes" that are popular with the Norwegian part of my family. Great costume RK!
