What you are asking for are very specific things, things that unfortunately nobody knows at the moment. We do not know what the people in Birka actually wore and exactly how it looked, because there are only tiny fragments of garments preserved. What you will have to do, and in fact what anyone interested in the era will have to do, is to look at what little there is and draw their own conclusions. Based on things like the placement of jewelry in the tombs and the few fragments that remain and on the highly stylized contemporary depictions of people we can build a vague idea, though. Especially belts and bags that sometimes had a lot of little metal findings on them are easier to guess than things like garments.
It would be lovely if we had something like the Bocksten man for the best years of Birka, but we don’t.
For now all we have are some plausible guesses and some less plausible guesses and that’s it.

I am in the process of starting a group in Pennsylvania, USA, which we would like to portray people from 10th Century Birka and surrounding areas.
All the people in our group come from the reenacting world (WWII, WWI, US Civil War, Etc) but we are pretty much brand new to the Viking era and really want to do right by this impression as we will be one of the only groups in our area that does such an impression.
Basically, I am looking for historical research on things like clothing styles (I have a bit but could never have enough to satiate my curiosity), foods for all different classes of people, common occupations (types of traders as well, as I know that there would have been many)
Really any and all information would be deeply appreciated.
I am also interested in finding people who make period stuff for kit such as pouches, clothing, and etc. Plenty of weaponsmiths around here who can forge us anything we need, but very few historically accurate Viking age clothing suppliers to my knowledge.
Again, any and all help would be deeply appreciated!
Thanks,
Vinlander

Womens aprons in the 14th and 15th centuries were worn from the waist down. Also have a look on this fantastic website http://larsdatter.com/aprons.htm .

It's from the "Roman de la Rose", and it is from 14th century France. It isn't more specific than that, but i'll guess it's the early 14th century.
http://romandelarose.org/#read;Sainte-G ... 6.155v.tif
I don't know how to get a direct link, but the apron will be at 115r (or page 238).
I hope I've been a little helpful.

Is there any historic documentation available regarding this piece of clothing? If it was indeed made and worn, and from what region it originates? If so, where might I find it?
Thank you for your time!

I am writing a guide to 'Viking Age' Bags, Pouches and Purses.
I have never seen an authentic pouch like the one in this guide.
Thank you for reassuring me!
I like the pouches on your site by the way, and the boat!
