In this episode, we turn to the Østerdalsbunad for men, a traditional folk costume deeply rooted in the Østerdalen region. Listeners will discover how this bunad was carefully reconstructed from 19th-century garments, featuring black vadmel knee breeches and jacket, patterned wool vests, and cotton or embroidered linen shirts. We explore its evolution from early 20th-century adaptations to today’s authentic reconstructions, including unique details like the “skjoldlua” cap, braided hosebands, and historical button styles such as the Alvdalsknappen. You’ll also hear how Hulda Bunader supports both tradition and creativity—offering handmade bunads from their Oslo workshop, material kits for those who want to sew their own, and services that ensure craftsmanship and sustainability remain at the heart of bunad culture. This episode brings history, heritage, and practical insight together for anyone curious about men’s bunads from Østerdalen.
