Nordic Folk Costumes!

Description

A few days ago I asked the crowd if they had any ideas to what I could draw, and for once I actually got a good varity of response, and it was quite hard for me to pick which I wanted to draw. In the end, this is the outcome. (my sincere gratitude to Karalora)

This drawing shows the Satw Nordics in their folk costumes, or "nearly" , And with what I would think might be their most used accessories. (Denmark's beer, Norway's Violin and Sweden's accurate to his wear hat. As always, also Iceland's demons and Finland's attitude)
I hadn't intended to go too much into detail about the bunads when I decided, and I had trouble finding good references although my friend gladly helped, but I hope this shows the concept at least ^-^. The men's bunads aren't as detailed or as wildly variated as the womens bunads anyway "If you look at the popularity and such"
But they bring out the old back-in-the-days mood and the person wearing it can seem very stylish and handsome if taking good care of the costume.  

As for Finland's appearance; I had such trouble finding reference for him I simply drew the poor sod in what I suspect the Finnish for wearing the most anyway. (My friends made a Sauna joke when I said that)

Oh god, so cute! I love this!

Looking around some, I think Finns mainly wore the same thing as Swedes, though perhaps changed it slightly?
