“Necropants”: Pants Made Of Dead Man’s Skin Brings Wealth to the Wearer

Warning: Picture below is of graphic nature!

Apparently, a pair of pants are enough to tempt those who seek wealth.

Pants made from real human skin are currently on display at an Iceland museum.

The pants, which have been dubbed “necropants”, are part of a 17th-century tradition that says a person will have good luck if they wear a deceased person’s lower half.

“The necropants on display are a replica, from a mold made from a man (except the most intimate part, which is made up),” Anna Björg Þórarinsdóttir, owner of the Museum of Icelandic Sorcery & Witchcraft, said. “But the necropants were believed to bring wealth to the one who wore them and in Icelandic grimoires and folklore there are descriptions on how to make them.”

Several Icelandic tales have the making of necropants as a type of dark magic that was persecuted during Iceland’s Age of Fire from 1654 and 1690.
