Medieval Wool Coif with Tie Strings | Black | Lined
Key Element for LARP and Re-enactment
This hood is designed to fulfill the function of the historical headwear known as a coif. Its cut closely follows the head and covers the ears, making it an ideal base layer under other headwear. You can wear it on its own, under a felt hat, or use it as padding under a mail coif or helmet (as an arming cap). The long tie strings allow for tight fastening under the chin, which you will appreciate especially during active movement on the battlefield or when horse riding.
- Material: The outer layer consists of a blend of 70% wool and 30% synthetic fibres for increased durability and longevity.
- Comfort: The inside is lined with soft sheeting that is pleasant to the touch and eliminates wool itch.
- Versatility: The cut is unisex, fitting both men and women comfortably.
Historical Context: The Coif as a Medieval Essential
Headwear of this type, known as a coif, was ubiquitous in the Middle Ages (especially from the 12th to the 14th century). It was worn by men, women, and children of all social classes. Originally mostly sewn from white linen, they served hygienic purposes – protecting expensive hats or helmets from sweat and hair from dirt. Wool variants like this one were used primarily in the cold months or as an outer layer by the poorer classes. Long ties became popular during the High Middle Ages, allowing the wearer greater variability in how it was worn.
