Velvet Jester Hat With Bells

Medieval Velvet Jester Hat With Bells Mi-Parti

The Noble Craft Of Medieval Entertainers

The historical model for this playful piece of clothing dates back to the High and Late Middle Ages, specifically the 14th and 15th centuries. At this time, court jesters and wandering jugglers were indispensable figures at royal and noble courts across Europe. The distinctive headgear, often divided into contrasting colours in the heraldic mi-parti style, symbolised their unique social status. Jesters were among the few who had the privilege to tell the truth with impunity, even to the ruler himself. The hat is securely tied under the chin with fabric laces. The material consists of genuine velvet made of 100% cotton, and the lining is also made of 100% cotton. The advantage of this natural fabric is excellent thermoregulation and an exceptionally pleasant feel to the touch. We will custom-make this jester hat for you in other colours according to these fabric swatches. Please note the desired colour or colours in your order in the comments field. Always state (1) the swatch number, (2) the colour letter, and (3) the colour name. If you choose a fabric with a different composition, there may be a price change, which we will consult with you in advance. We would like to point out that any other clothing items or accessories shown in the illustrative photographs are not included in the delivery.

Care And Safety

To ensure this beautiful piece lasts as long as possible looking like new, please follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions. Cotton velvet requires very gentle handling. We recommend you wash the hat exclusively by hand in lukewarm water using a mild detergent, so as not to damage the bells or the fine pile of the velvet. Never wring the product out by twisting and do not under any circumstances dry it in a tumble dryer. Let it air dry naturally. Ironing should be done with maximum care only from the reverse side on a very low setting. For safety reasons, ensure that loose bells do not fall into the hands of small children, as there is a risk of choking.

Recommended Accessories

With this Renaissance and Gothic hat, we highly recommend you purchase a medieval mi-parti style cape and historical leather turnshoes corresponding to the fashion of the 14th to 15th centuries. Your juggler costume will also be perfectly complemented by a wide leather belt with a pouch for your well-earned coins and a set of period juggling balls.
