also re clothing etc etc
Men boots
Hilda knelt at his feet, among the gold, the jewels, her lips pressed to his furred boots. "My Jarl! My Jarl!" she wept
Mens trousers
Gorm was bare-chested and barefoot. He wore trousers of the fur of sea sleen. About his neck was a golden chain and pendant, doubtless taken once from a free woman of the south.
Men were now running from the palisade and the fields down to the dock. They were bare-headed, and wore shaggy jackets. Some wore trousers of skin, others tunics of dyed wool.
, a shirt and trousers of skin; and, too, a broad ax, formed in the fashion of Torvaldsland,
"Good," said the Forkbeard. He climbed to his feet. He knocked the dirt from the knees of his leather trousers. "Good," he said.

Then, taking the helmet back, and throwing his head back, he drained it, blood running at the side of his mouth, trickling to thefur at the collar of his jacket . Men about cheered.
She was kicking and laughing, trying to push back from her body the pressing jackets of fur of the men of Torvaldsland.
Shirts
, a shirt and trousers of skin; and, too, a broad ax, formed in the fashion of Torvaldsland,
protested Gunnhild. Her hand was inside his furred shirt
cloaks
Then from his chests, within the hall, he had given me a long, swirling cloak of the fur of sea sleen;
. He had already stripped and was rubbing himself with a fur cloak.
I stepped on the leather of the cloak. "I'm the champion," said I, "of Hrolf of Inlet of Green Cliffs." I unsheathed the sword I wore at my belt.
He wore a collar of fur, dyed scarlet, and a long cloak, over the left shoulder, of purple-dyed fur of the sea sleen. He wore beneath his cloak yellow wool, and a great belt of glistening black, with a gold buckle, to which was attached a scabbard of oiled, black leather; in this scabbard was a sword, a sword of Torvaldsland, a long sword, with a j eweled pommel, with double guard.
Pullover or Tunic

He wore beneath his cloak yellow wool, and a great belt of glistening black, with a gold buckle, to which was attached a scabbard of oiled, black leather; in this scabbard was a sword, a sword of Torvaldsland, a long sword, with a jeweled pommel, with double guard.
Belts and usages re the belt.
Forkbeard then, grinning, slung his ax over his left shoulder, dropping it into the broad leather loop by which it may be carried, its head behind his head and to the left. This loop is fixed in a broad leather belt worn from the left shoulder to the right hip, fastened there by a hook , that the weight of the ax will not turn the belt, which fits into a ring in the otherwise unarmed, carry a knife at their master belt. All men of Torvaldsland, incidentally, even if otherwise unarmed, carry a knife at their master. belt. The sword, when carried, and it often is, is commonly supported might be mentioned, the common Gorean practice. It can also, of course, be hung, by its sheath and sheath straps, form the master belt, which is quite adequate, being a stout heavy belt, to hold it. It is called the master belt, doubtless, to distinguish it from the ax belt and the sword belt, and because it is, almost always worn. A pouch, of course, and other accoutrements my hang, too, from it. Gorean garments, generally, do not contain pockets. Some say the master belt gets its name be cause it is used sometimes in the disciplining of bond-maids
He, standing on this ring, fastens himself by the waist to the mast by looping and buckling a heavy belt about it, and through his master belt.
; he, with a key from his belt, opened the fetters which held her; he thrust them in his belt
With his belt knife, thrusting Pudding and Gunnhild back, Ivar Forkbeard addressed himself to the cutting of the meat.
In a moment I saw her collared body, desperately pressing and rubbing against hirn, he in her small, white arms, her belly thrust against the great buckle of the master belt.
"Now, twice more," said Ottar to me, his hand on his broad black belt inlaid with gold. "Then we will find another post !"
"So that," said Ottar, his hands on his heavy belt, inlaid with gold, "is Hilda the Haughty, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar!"
He, standing on this ring, fastens himself by the waist to the mast by looping and buckling a heavy belt about it, and through his master belt.
Talmit
The talmit is a headband. It is not unusual for the men of Torvaldsland to wear them, though none of Forkbeard's men did.. They followed an outlaw. Some talmits have special significance. Special talmits sometime distinguish officers, and Jarls; or a district's lawmen, in the pay of the Jarl; the different districts, too, sometimes have different styles of talmit, varying in their material and design; talmits, too, can be awarded as prizes.
Pouch
. A pouch, of course, and other accoutrements my hang, too, from it.
Re pockets
Gorean garments, generally, do not contain pockets.
Chains
He was bare-chested. About his neck, looped, was a cord of woven, golden wire, with a golden pendant, in the shape of an ax.
About his neck, from a fine, golden chain, pierced, hung the tooth of a Hunjer whale, dyed blue.
