Trousers from human skin?

[Arsen_]

It is reported in Russian blogs that in old times in Iceland trousers from human skin were made.
And the picture of that kind of trousers from some Museum in Iceland is presented. Is that really true?

First time I have ever heard about this.

Nábrókarstafur - A pair of pants made from the skin of a dead man that are capable of producing an endless supply of money.

I bet Útrám have pair of those

No, looks like a hoax. Have you ever seen Icelanders with such black hairy legs? I haven't.

The hair seems to have been put there after. Doesn't look natural and i think no human has hair on the waist.
