A friend brought me back one from the Nationalmuseet in Copenhagen.  The 
Viborg Stiftsmuseum might distribute it, too.  Anyway, here's the complete 
citation.

         Fentz, Mytte.  _The Viking Shirt from Viborg:  Instructions for 
Making a Replica_, trans. Teresa Mesquit.  Viborg Stiftsmuseum, 1997.  (no 
ISBN)

The Viborg shirt is 11th century, though, so only suitable for very late 
Regia period.  Also, some of the reconstructions (particularly the unusual 
drawstring-like neckline) are admittedly conjectural.
