Ah, I recognize that feeling from the viking markets I’ve been to. There’s something a bit odd about a group of vikings buying ice cream in a modern gas station, but on the other hand it seems perfectly natural that the leather merchants have traded their carts for camper vans.
That entire feeling of “this is a set of tools and clothes that I could comfortably use in modern life” is also … odd, almost like learning a second language. I genuinely miss my wool cape when it’s cold outside, but I’m not quite suave enough to pull off using it in a non-viking context.

But it’s only clothing.
I took my daughter two weeks ago, it was an absolute blast. She loved every minute of it and tried to keep the braids she insisted on getting in for as long as she could.

Bear skulls are also acceptable, provided you killed it yourself in close combat.

There’s a Stephen King cameo in that, BTW.

When you’re the only one not wearing a costume, what you’re wearing looks like a costume to everybody else.
