Medieval Oval Veil – Cotton/Linen Blend, Natural Colour

Medieval Oval Veil – Cotton/Linen Blend, Natural Colour

Material and Appearance:

It's crafted from a comfortable and practical blend of 87% cotton and 13% linen. The fabric comes in a natural, unbleached colour (a beige/ecru shade).

• Important Colour Note: Please be aware that this natural fabric is not pure white. It may appear somewhat darker in reality than it does in the product images. The veil has a generous oval shape, measuring approximately 79cm at its longest point and 68cm at its widest (please allow for slight variations). This cut elegantly frames the face and drapes nicely over the shoulders.

Historical Inspiration and Use:

This versatile oval style was popular throughout the medieval period, roughly from the 11th to the 15th centuries. Its shape allows for various draping and pinning methods (pins not included) to suit your character and the specific era you're portraying.

It’s perfect for:

• Historical Events: Festivals, markets, re-enactments.
• LARP and Theatre: Suitable for portraying noblewomen, townswomen, artisans, or simple peasant women.
• Completing the Look: Veils were often worn in combination with wimples for greater coverage or pinned to fillets (headbands) or, commonly, an under-cap.

What's Included (and What's Not):

This product includes one oval veil made from the cotton/linen blend fabric ONLY.

• PLEASE NOTE: The under-cap (coif), which is often worn beneath the veil for structure and securing it (and may be visible in some illustrative images), is NOT included with this item. However, you can purchase under-caps, historical pins, fillets, and wimples separately from our store to complete your headwear.

This veil is an excellent choice for anyone seeking an authentic yet practical accessory for their historical costume. The cotton-linen blend offers a good balance between period appearance and easier care.
