€13.00
Tax included

This historically accurate cap is made of plain cotton fabric. It features a generously large flap and can be tied at the back with bows. The decorative pleats starting at the inner edge of the brim not only create an attractive look but also give structure to the beanie.

In the Middle Ages and early modern period, the headdress or bonnet was a staple headdress for married women, while girls and unmarried women were allowed to keep their hair uncovered (hence the German expression unter die Haube kommen, which literally translates to "to enter under the bonnet" and is still a common idiom nowadays for "to get married"). In addition, caps had the practical advantage of protecting the hair from dirt when performing household chores or other jobs. Alternative ways for women to cover their heads were, for example, a plain or ruffled veil (with or without a gorge around the neck), a barbette and fillet, a schapel (a decorated crown-shaped bow/crown, often worn in combination with a veil), or a headdress. Even today, headdresses and beanies are still an inherent part of many traditional folk costumes throughout Europe.

This beautiful pleated cap for women is ideal for medieval markets, LARP, reenactment or living history.

Throughout the Middle Ages, head-ons were very common for men and women. Hoods of the kind offered here were predominantly worn by men and children, but also popular with women, whatever the lifestyle. While the lower classes used to use them to protect themselves from the sun and dirt, the middle classes usually wore them under their royal headlights, knights under their knitted capes and kings under their crowns. They were also used as a protection against parasites such as lice.

The cap was a basic garment in the High Middle Ages, as shown by numerous historical illustrations - for example, the Rutland Psalter or the Morgan Bible (also known as the Maciejowski Bible or Crusader Bible), a 13th-century bible of paintings.

This beautiful and simple coif is ideal for medieval markets, LARP, reconstitution or living history.
