Tubular Chaperon

A red woollen chaperon with black lining 

This particular chaperon is less complex than many, it does not include a fancy liripipe or bourrelet.

This harkens back to the chaperon's origin, a rolled-up hood.

Basically in this case a tube of fabric with the same diameter as the head with the bottom rolled up exposing the different colour lining to form the brim/headband.

Green Felt Hat

 This green felt hat has seen better days, crushed at the bottom of the pile, it needs steaming over a dome to reshape it.

Listed as a Richard the 3rd style hat.

Made of green felt.

Red Chaperon

This Chaperon is part of the job lot of 6 theatrical hats I purchased.

Being made for theatrical use, aesthetic rather historical accuracy lead the design.

 That said a first glance it fits the bill, just ignore the fabric and way its made.

 The nice long livery pipe, scarf bit if you want attached to the side of the hat is nicely flamboyant.

Good to chew on 

or hide behind

Domed green hat

This round felt hat was listed as a Monmouth style cap, but I don't think it is.

Monmouth caps while a similar shape are a knitted cap more like a small beanie that fits the dome of your head.

This I would say is just a medieval domed cap.

Minstrels Hat

This Robinhood style felt hat as been upgraded

The hat itself was originally posted here in 2015

But has been decorated with scrolls to sewn to the brim for the part of a minstrel.

The additions really change the hat, its become more theatrical and less authentic.

The scrolls were varnished before rolling and tieing with ribbons, in the hope they may survive a bit of damp weather.

Woolen Acorn

This medieval style acorn hat is made of wool, lined with linen and sewn in to shape.

.

Acorn hats in addition to being acorn-shaped, have a little pip of fabric at the top that in the case of acorn hat probably represent the stalk or possibly the remains of the style.

The pip also occurs through the felting process if this were a felted, rather sewn acorn hat.

Looking at the pictures I think this hat needs more air time or ironing, its been crushed in the bottom of bag too long and never seem to see the light of day.

Alas tis but a Hat

This hat is part of a batch of theatrical hats I got from eBay

Made to look like a medieval chaperon, the hat is nicely flamboyant and also easy to wear.

Medieval Felt Hat

This tall hat, now looking a bit crushed was used roughly between 1320 and 1590, although apparently not worn in the early Tudor period, it did reappeared during the Elizabethan. 

This is felt hat made by shaping felt with hot water or steam.

Sir Tis My Hat

This medieval hat is made in the style of a chaperon

It was made for me around 1990 for medieval theatre style reenactment at Warwick Castle for group called Knights Errant. 

Errant Knights being knights with no particular lord that wandered the country looking for adventure, duels, jousts, or just pursuing the values of chivalry.

Made from a platted band of brown, red and white wool forming the bourrelet around the head and separate wool cornette lined with linen, it forms a very comfortable simplified chaperon style hat.

I've worn this hat many time, for many characters, its still worn today and in excellent condition after 25 years of life.

Bird Beak

This bycocket is made of lightweight felt and not stiff so folds flat.

The word Bycocket comes from the French word bec cocquet which means birds beak or cock's beak
