Vikings are about as iconic as pirates (i.e. vikings 2.0), knights, and samurai, and their style is often imitated... or rather, modern reinterpretations of them. Undercuts and randomly stitched together fur and leather rags are not historically accurate, just saying.

Some say you can be a modern day viking by adhering to their aesthetics, beliefs, and cultural values like courage in the face of hardship, honor, integrity, loyalty, etc.
Can you though?

This is my opinion on the topic... a bit of a rant maybe, although I tried to keep it reasonably concise.
