Lightweight Hood

 This hood and mantle is made of a lightweight fabric and very lightweight.

Good summer costume

Ideal fantasy costume, with a simple single button to hold it together at the front.

Brown Wool Cap

This great cap is made from wool, typical of the muffin cap style used in the late medieval period and onwards.

Came as part of a pile of kit from somebody given up the LRP hobby.

Excellent hat, needs to get used

You can even change the look by pulling up the crown. 

 

Corinthian Helmet

This is a Copy of a Corinthian helmet that was used from 8thC BC to 1stC AD 

The helmet was worn by Greek Hoplites (Greek Citizen Soldiers) and got its name from Corinthia, an ancient Greek city-state.

The helmet would have been made from bronze, this copy is made of pressed steel and coloured to look the part.

Not all Corinthian helmets have plumes however this copy does, this would have been made of horsehair.

This helmet is not mine as it was donated to our club.

Padded Coif

 This coif is padded as it is designed to be used as an arming cap under a metal helmet.

See the previous post about arming caps

This style of arming cap is typical of the Medieval period from 12th Century onwards

This style of arming cap was also worn by medieval peasants as an outer layer as well as under a helmet.
