Eva,
When and where will your work on this be published? Will it be available in
English?

The thread in the Bocksten Bog man's costume did NOT survive. It was
therefore most likely either linen or hemp, both grown in Scandinavia at
the time. All the thread was gone when they found it in 1936. This can
be seen from the report/book from this time "Bockstensmannen och hans
dräkt" edited by Margareta Nockert. It is now 70 years since the
Bocksten man was found and for the last two years a research project has
been running. I was the person doing the dress historical research and
has thus had the opportunity to handle the garment as well as seeing all
the original documentation photos.
