The Legend of Thoris Bower
The story of Ragnar Lothbrook is set in southern Sweden around 1250. He's the son of the king of Denmark, and he knows that serpents are extremely dangerous during their death throes because they spout out lots of poison. So he gets this suit of clothing made of a sheep's fleece turned with the shaggy side out; then he rolls in pitch.

But Ragnar escapes from the splashes because of his amazing shaggy trousers.
