The North Jutlandic Island, Nørrejyske Ø, is typically referred to by its three traditional districts:

   a. Vendsyssel - the largest and easternmost portion

   b. Thy - the western peninsula, and

   c. Hanherred - the smaller middle portion connecting Vendsyssel and Thy.

​

Thy's folk costume is not particularly well documented, but it has the following elements:

​

a. Headgear: Its hallmark is the fan-like, lace headgear, called a "beard hat" (skæghat) or "Jyske kappe" (Jutland cap). This headgear is unlike any other in Denmark. The beard hat was made of either embroidered tulle or lace from the town of Tønder (Tønderknippling). Tulle was for mourning. Lace was for happy occasions. It was stiffened with starch then ironed. Women would bring their beard hat to the celebration in a box so it wouldn't get damaged or wet. The slightest bit of moisture would cause this distinctive headgear to flop and droop.

 

b. Bodice: The bodice is made of damask silk and lacks buttons or hooks. Instead the bodice is pinned in the front.

 

c. Nattrøje: Underneath the bodice is a red knitted sweater (nattrøje).

 

d. Scarf: The scarf is square and made of black silk embroidered with colored silk on one side. It could be flipped to hide the colored embroidery for mourning. In the image immediately below, the woman appears to be wearing a "Barcelona scarf." However, other images suggest that other scarves were used.

​

e. Skirt: Made of dark wool.

​

f. Apron: Checkered pattern. See the images below.
