The SO has decided he is no longer happy with just pirating around fair and now wants to indulge in his viking side.
I've been doing some searching around and have found a lot of text on the subject but not a lot of photos.
The main construction I have down for a t-tunic and what not, I'm looking more for examples of decoration for said tunics accessories and cloak constructions.
Does anyone know of some good sites of reference?
Thanks!
There aren't a *lot* of photos here, and if you've found T-tunic construction diaries, you've probably seen this already, but just in case:

See I love this forum for a reason <3
Glad to be a help. There's always something fun going on here, even if I don't have time to reply to EVERYTHING I'd like to! (Too many sewing projects screaming at me!)
Here is a great site for Viking Attire.

These guys did the Gimli Icelandic festival - historically accurate too! Here's their website with some pics, and links to more resources!
