Tss tss tss...I am Shocked, Dave! (blush) :)
Well, this guy from the song, Knut Hauling, does put the king to shame by telling him how many women he had...("the king was surprised and crossed himself: "I have never had as many as that foreign Hauling"), so there definitely is a "wedding tackle connection", but I don't really know about your suggestion...they didn't wear jeans in medieval Sweden, you know :o)
(Sorry, just feeling very silly today)
