hangeroc with viking dragons redHangerocs were an essential part of Viking clothing. These garments had what they called 'geren' (fabric wedges), pleats, and variations that overlapped at the front. The hem typically ended around the calf. This clothing served two distinct purposes. While the simple version was worn as an apron to protect clothing, the decorated variation was more of a status symbol, adorned with trims, embroidery, turtle brooches, and fibulae.
