So I take it the vegvisir is in the same category? I was about to get it as a tattoo until I watched this video, I'm kinda anti Christian 😅.

What PhDs put people through is beyond the pale. I can totally understand. I'm sure you will fill your life with awesomeness like you have been.

My dad’s from Midlands and he didn’t have an indoor toilet until the 80s… because his dad built a “hallway” to it. Still not plumbed but he said it was so much nicer than having to run outside in the cold to the privy bc you have to take a poo and put it off as long as you could

You are very pretty of course, but could we look at pictures of the jewelry for a bit longer? We can. pause the video to gaze longingly for a longer time, yes.

These turned out fantastic! I may need to crack open my copy of The Cut Of Men's Clothes and finally have a go at making myself some pants. They look ridiculously comfortable.

I have decided to quit phd now looking for another way to get out of this institution

According to the Genomelink website, I have 10% Viking DNA.

All of your videos are so fun, charming and informative. I love putting them on while I work on my own historical costuming (so much hemming). Keep up the wonderful work :)

You are beautiful and intelligent

Nearly all old societies inked their skin. The thawed-out caveman had many tattoos.

Appreciate the update. Was wondering how that was going. Also I am getting far less of your stuff pop up in my feed. :( Had to come searching for your videos

I would LOVE to see you teach Welsh!

Mwynhais hwn. Ti'n swinio'n mor wahanol pryd chi'n siarad Cymraeg 😅 (rwyn flin am fy gymraeg ddrwg, dwi'n ail iaith)

The best thing about medieval clothes is how long they are! In modern clothing you might wear a warm jacket and your torso is fine, but your legs are cold because you only wear a pair of jeans. But with medieval clothes you wear woollen pants, you wear leg wraps, and you wear long tunics that cover thighs, so your legs are warm as well, and that does so much for your overall comfort!

Great job on the breeches, but I found the music so distracting. Much rather listen to you.

Historical Arthur cosplay when? :D

Whatever you intend doing with the fabric after you’ve made the item (wash, iron etc.), do to it before marking and sewing! It’s amazing how much some fabrics shrink!

Jimmy! This was very cool. I enjoyed your narration immensely. The video of the inside of the keep was very well done! Please do another when you can. 👍

Even the village idiot can figure out how to stick a threaded needle through some material and poke it back through. Repeat until your bum is no longer on display. Lazy is the proper term for the re-enactor you spoke of. Even in the 20th century Navy, my brothers had to embroider their initials onto their clothes.

That length of fabric reminds me of my years with a Japanese Minyo dance troupe (I was the English-speaking presenter.) Their kimono were handsewn from 14" wide silk. Washing them involved disassembling them and shipping them to a specialist laundry in Japan.

The breeches look great! Nice job and thanks for for bringing us along on the ride. Look forward to the next steps😊

It's finally happened to me (not even in a car or plastic bag or owt, just in my room sitting on the carpet for some reason) so I'm very glad to have this video to come back to!

I am also a Welsh Viking with my mothers family being from Scandinavia and my farther being Wales with a family grave site going back over 300 years. But I am blonde with blue/green eyes at 37 years old and so are my kids are also blonde along with some 12 other children of my family. my wife is Irish/Welsh by decent with black hair and blue eyes. it still strikes me as amazing that the genetics still come out after all this time. I live in Wales and always will, the woods fields and streams are my home..I cant be anywhere else.

Does anyone else watch these videos twice? They are just so pleasant to listen to!

This feels a lot like being in sixth grade and realizing I could wipe the floor with most people at two truths and a lie if I just chose an obscure fact, used the right tone of voice and added enough surface level knowledge about the aspects surrounding it. Perversely, it also worked on the GMs, because they rarely if ever kept a copy of the reference material for themselves during the game, and could not tell which would-be rube was just very confidently telling utter hogwash about a subject they had a degree in and had spent hours preparing facts about the night before. This isn't academics being butthurt that no one will accept their theory. This is a student taking to twitter after it turns out their professor actually has access to the semi-obscure text they used to lend credence to their doctored references.

Oh wow 😂 L.o.l. you are so right and observant @puredabs, this video has the look and feel of the 60s era, like those open uni lectures they used to have on back in the day on BBC channels i think.

This guy is sage for one so relatively young he is like an old soul bursting firth full of knowledge of welsh history and that, i have been fortunate to have met him on several occasions, he is hardly susprisely a popular person to do talks and workshop's on anything related to welsh history, he brings this subject to life, and its like watching with fondness your grandfather or any other older member 🤔 of your family / family friend waxing lyrically about their favorite subject to you..

If it's fictional fantasy it shouldn't matter. Now It WOULD be nice if they made a separate series that centers around the Songhai Empire and Mali Empire as well. There is a rich history in medieval West Africa.

Life is about choices. Demonstrating how to make the hardest ones with resolve, dignity and grace, and helping others learn how to do the same, is one of the most 'upbeat' things a person can do.

i know this video is old now, but could you do a video dedicated to busting myths saying that certain symbols are Viking or Pagan?

😂 thank you for the giggles, your welsh rant was wonderful but hysterically funny. Just a wee point if make your mock ups from better ‘period’ fabric u can use the mock up as a lining. ( after u make a nice well fitting pattern to use again.

My first time went horrible. I was apart of a Facebook group and the Reenactment group I went too thought I was a poacher :/ when they clearly new 2 weeks before hand and still invited me lol

Jimmy is a floor troll!

So excited to see you add to your kit! The modeling session at the end showed that you did a mighty fine job on your breeches! I'm so impressed!

Dude dont go giving away the sewing secrets, we sew better being in our underpants!

There's a town near where in from called Bryn and funnily enough, it's on a hill

i have a bjorn haircut irl. Love it

Your fly was down when you were filming yourself sewing.

I think if someone were to get ethnic based tattoos, they should use the symbols or tattoos from their own ethnic background. If your culture has been highly Anglicized and you want to do tattos using symbols from times before that, great. Its probably best to learn about the symbols of your own ethnic background.

Those look very comfy!

What alternative can you recommend for people who are not wearing trousers to enhance their sewing game? 😂

I too find watching Game Grumps helpful for my sewing time

what a silly thing

Hooray for getting back into sewing! They look great! Whipstitching linings in is one of my favourite steps too.

oo im glad i found another male historical sewing channel. you’re really funny. cheers from australia!

Yay a new welsh Viking sewing video! Also love the smooth guitar jazz in the background

Very nice breeches! The background music makes it really hard for me to hear, but otherwise a nice discussion of the process.

13:50 How does someone who loses their life pay for anything? Even if you died in a fight to the death and had to put up the money upfront, you didn't "really" lose anything, because you can't spend money if you're dead and have no use for it thereafter.

17th Century Civil War? Oh, right. This was a British Civil War; no the American Civil War.

Farya Faraji has great videos on viking age music! (and why it was not throat singing over a tagelharpa which is a baltic-finnic instrument instead of a scandinavian one)
