Barbarians, particularly those from the Grim Up North, typically wear garments made of rough furs, leathers, hides, and simple cloth. Thus such clothing can indicate the wearers are part of a primitive, but Proud Warrior Race (even if not everyone in that race is particularly tough). What this means can vary. When such people are portrayed as savage and underdeveloped, such clothing stands in stark contrast to the "civilized" people, where even their peasants wear nicer materials. Other times these clothes are just treated as part of the barbarian charm. Who has time to make fancy clothes when they often have to fight packs of wolves, and/or frost giants? There's no point in making the chief's robes out of velvet, embroidered symbols, and ermine edging. Just cut bearskins into cloak shapes and toss them over their shoulders as a Badass Cape. The exact clothing worn will vary. Often these people are fully dressed, but just as often they mainly wear loin cloths and fur bikinis. They also tend to dress this way whether they are in their homeland or not (so this trope doesn't preclude Exposed to the Elements). Two common Real Life groups depicted this way in media are Vikings and Mongols, although that often falls into Hollywood Costuming. You can often tell fantasy counterpart cultures of them if the people dress this way. Can also overlap with Nemean Skinning. Compare Pretty in Mink (wearing fur is for looking glamorous instead of looking tough and more often have the choice of more simple clothing unlike a lot of examples on this page), An Ice Suit, Beard of Barbarism (ways of styling a beard to show one is tough) and Horns of Barbarism. See also Barbarian Hero (characters who tend to dress like this), Frazetta Man (primitive people who wear very little hide clothing), Post-Apunkalyptic Armor (various materials crudely made into clothes), Nubile Savage, and The Strongman (who might wear it in his act). Contrast Stylish Protection Gear. A subtrope of Stock Costume Traits. |

The Space Wolves (heroic space Vikings) often wear wolf skins over their armor, usually one they've killed during their rites of passage. The White Scars (heroic space Mongols) do it to a lesser degree. | |

The Viking (1928): Many of the Vikings attacking Lord Alwin's castle wear primitive fur garments, and so do many of the Greenlanders forming Eric the Red's company. In contrast Leif, King Olaf and Olaf's guests do not wear furs, giving the impression that in the movie's world, wearing shaggy furs and pelts is reserved for pagans. | |

In The Long Dark you initially start out with a set of conventional clothing, but as you kill animals you can craft your own fur clothing, which includes deer skin pants and boots, wolf skin coat and bear skin bedroll. These are warmer but heavier than conventional clothing. There is even a Steam achievement called Wrapped in Furs for using all of them at once. | |

In the Earthworm Jim cartoon, Jim comes across the Sword of Righteousness, a Talking Weapon which tries to encourage Jim to dress like a real hero, which includes Viking-style furry clothes as well as a braided blonde wig. Then it turns out the sword doesn't know what it's doing, and had never successfully helped a hero win a fight. | |

Princess Anaele of Skalt in Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem comes from a Viking-inspired Grim Up North culture and dresses accordingly — in light battle armor and a cloak with a massive fur collar — despite being a representative of her country on a diplomatic summit. Her entourage follows suit, showing off their fur-trimmed clothes, — and it is strongly implied that they do it on purpose, to annoy the rest of the delegates and to demonstrate that they prefer swords over words. | |

Skyrim, set in the homeland of the aforementioned Nords, takes this aesthetic and runs with it. To note: The default male Dragonborn depicted on the cover wears heavy fur armor (and a horned helm)—just to drive a point home that the eponymous setting is a Grim Up North. In game the Dragonborn can wear Fur Armor ripped from the cold corpses of bandits or Forsworn Armor from the group of the same name, the latter of which has a lot of skulls (some of them human). Since fur armor is just a bunch of animal pelts stitched together it is really only good in the early game before the Dragonborn can start forging/finding better armor. Forsworn armor is found later in the game and is outclassed by the armor you already should have, not like the forsworn need it as their magical resistance and high levels make them pretty durable, especially the Briarhearts. The Stormcloak Officer armor, such as the one worn by Galmar Stone-Fist, has a bear pelt to act as a cape and hat. Most of the clothing worn by Giants is made up of pelts and fur, though few wear more than a simple loin cloth. |

In Dark Souls II the kingdom of Forossa collapsed after a war, so the people turned into lawless raiders. The bandit armor set is from there, and it's made of metal, leathers, furs, and a pile of animal skulls on one shoulder. Even before that, Forossan warriors were known for their savagery on the battlefield. The actual Forossa Knight armor, while better put together, still has furs over the shoulderplates◊, giving it a distinctly wild feel. And then there's the armor worn by Vengarl of Forossa◊, the guy even other Forossans considered to be a terrifying, bloodthirsty lunatic (although part of him has since mellowed out). | |

In Black Panther (2018) the Jabari tribe are even more isolationist than the rest of Wakanda, and live in the mountains, which are so high they are covered in snow. Hence the people there wear some animal pelts (but not too much, to keep their badass appearance). | |

Berserk: Nosferatu Zodd, the Blood Knight Apostle who has stalked the battlefield for over 300 years, wears animal pelts and leather about his loins to emphasize his beast-like and barbaric persona. It's seemingly more his style preference than any particular need to keep warm since he once fought in the snow barefoot and wearing nothing but a loincloth with no sign of frostbite. Indeed, the first time that Guts encountered him he was fighting completely naked! Pelts and leather is the unofficial uniform of the Black Dog Knights, Midland's penal army composed of the kingdom's worst convicted rapists and murderers led by Apostle and Psycho for Hire Wyald. They grow their hair long and wild, wearing little besides their cuirasses and the furs around their loins and shoulders. Their leader Wyald, in particular, wears a great wolf pelt with the animal's face still on it over his head and shoulders, as well as black fur pelts lashed around his shins and forearms by leather thongs. The Black Dog Knights are considered to be more of a mob of barbarians than a proper army, as likely to Rape, Pillage, and Burn the King's subjects as the enemy, for which they are posted on the country's frontiers where their presence won't disgrace the regular military. |

In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Broly wears a pelt around his waist. It's actually the ear of a creature he befriended on Planet Vampa. As it turns out, his father Paragus didn't like the idea of his son befriending the creature, seeing it as a hindrance to his training and shot the creature's ear off, driving it away. Broly wears it as a memento. | |

The Elder Scrolls Throughout the series, hide and fur are the most common materials for crafting low-end Light Armor. If the armor is given a racial origin, it is commonly Nordic or, in Morrowind, Ashlander in origin. (Though more civilized Dunmer (Dark Elves) will use it as well.) Skyrim, set in the homeland of the aforementioned Nords, takes this aesthetic and runs with it. To note: The default male Dragonborn depicted on the cover wears heavy fur armor (and a horned helm)—just to drive a point home that the eponymous setting is a Grim Up North. In game the Dragonborn can wear Fur Armor ripped from the cold corpses of bandits or Forsworn Armor from the group of the same name, the latter of which has a lot of skulls (some of them human). Since fur armor is just a bunch of animal pelts stitched together it is really only good in the early game before the Dragonborn can start forging/finding better armor. Forsworn armor is found later in the game and is outclassed by the armor you already should have, not like the forsworn need it as their magical resistance and high levels make them pretty durable, especially the Briarhearts. The Stormcloak Officer armor, such as the one worn by Galmar Stone-Fist, has a bear pelt to act as a cape and hat. Most of the clothing worn by Giants is made up of pelts and fur, though few wear more than a simple loin cloth. Bosmer (Wood Elves) living in Valenwood are bound by the Green Pact, which says they can't harm any local plants. This combined with some other cultural quirks, such as ritual cannibalism and theft being somewhat acceptable, makes other races see them as wild and uncivilized. It also means their clothing and armor are primarily made of leather and bone. |

In Darkest Dungeon the Brigand leader Vvulf wears a full wolf skin coat with the wolf's head still on, with it resting on his shoulder and the high level regular brigands also wear wolf skin coats with the ones wielding daggers wearing them with metal masks and the brigand hunters wearing the wolf's head as a hood | |

Game of Thrones: The Northerners (chiefly House Stark), the Night's Watch and the Wildlings in the Grim Up North have an excuse, given that it's cold and winter is coming. Certainly everyone south of where they live regard them as barbarians (this includes the Northerners and the Night's Watch initially thinking this of the wildlings). In the commentary, Lena Headey talked of how attractive the actors are with fur wrapped around them. Incidentally, the coats were stitched together from faux fur IKEA throwrugs (it was a cheap solution that also avoided using animal fur). House of the Dragon: Lord Rickon Stark wears the traditional black fur coat of House Stark. |

At his goofiest, Kraven the Hunter, perennial foe of Spider-Man, wears an entire lion's head as a vest, and zebra skin pants. More modern depictions downplay this, but still want to communicate his obsession with being the world's greatest hunter, resulting in this trope. | |

Thundarr the Barbarian: Thundarr is a barbarian warrior in a post-apocalyptic world. He wears what is basically a brown fur vest and loincloth. Every other barbarian we see also has a fur costume of some sort. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Space Wolves (heroic space Vikings) often wear wolf skins over their armor, usually one they've killed during their rites of passage. The White Scars (heroic space Mongols) do it to a lesser degree. The Snakebites (luddite Space Orcs) mostly wear the poorly-cured hides of large monsters, typically adorned with the fangs and claws of their former owners. |

How to Train Your Dragon: Many of the Vikings in this franchise cover themselves large pelts, from Stoic's huge fur cape to Gobber's fuzzy vest. In the sequel the kids get Costume Evolution, with Action Girl Astrid's new outfit being like this◊. She gets a fur hood, boots, and even what's basically a short fur petticoat under her Lady Legionnaire Wear. |

Asterix: The Normans and Goths wear furry clothing. In contrast, Roman standard-bearers are the civilized version, who wear more stylish lion skin capes. One goth in Asterix the Legionary turns out to be wearing a freestanding fur cape as his only clothing. |

Although the eponymous legendary warrior of Conan the Barbarian is often depicted wearing just a loin cloth, he'll often wear rough pelts when the need to dress warmer comes. This applies to the books and adaptations. | |

In Ralph Bakshi's animated The Lord of the Rings, Boromir wears a thick pelt in addition to a horned helmet, which seems to place him in the "barbarian Northerner" bracket. (In contrast, in the book, Boromir wore a fur-lined coat, and his homeland of Gondor is shown as highly civilized and most closely based on Greco-Roman culture.) | |

Dr. STONE: Big Bad and Evil Luddite Tsukasa and his followers are regularly seen wearing these, and while not all - or even most - of them are portrayed as villainous, the ones that are very much act like they're straight out of a Barbarian Tribe (albeit one significantly more intelligent than most examples). | |

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: In "K.O., Rad, and Enid!", Enid's suggestion for a theme for the Bodega Heroes' costumes is fur-and-leather barbarian armor. Unfortunately, her barbarian costume proves to be very uncomfortable and itchy, and gives her a rash. | |

He's also a Warrior Prince who graduated as the top cadet at the Boazanian Institute of Military Sciences and Warfare, and was the only one competent enough to lead the Earthern Invasion. | |

Conan the Barbarian obviously; the title character spends a lot of time wrapped in pelts and/or armor. The director of the sequel wasn't happy about this and insisted on Arnie having more Walking Shirtless Scenes so the audience could enjoy the sight. The group of heroes from the latter film still put on fur coats at one point, as the wizard Toth Amon lives in a castle in the middle of a mountain lake. Additionally, Malak wrapped his calves in fur. | |
