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. 

 

Fancy Posh Hat

 This brown hat has lots of decoration

In the style of a muffin cap, i.e. a headband with baggy loose crown.

The hat includes a decorative fabric headband, decorative badges/beads around the headband with a large broach badge in the same style at the front.

a bunch of orange feathers behind the main badge and a lace-like fabric decorating the join between the headband and loose crown.

This feel like a posh nobles hat or at least the hat of someone who wants to appear wealthy.

It's even comfortable to wear.

Tudor Flat Cap

 The hat further down is the last of a set of Tudor theatrical hats purchased as a job lot off eBay

Like the others, the label inside says RCA which I believe is the Royal College of Arts

A theatrical version of a cowpat hat or Tudor flat cap

Brown and cream, ideal for any Tudor play if any good plays from the period still exist. 

Librarian's hat

This style of hat I like to call a Librarian's hat, since I see it worn by some sort medieval scholar or portrait painter, although it's not specific to anyone of that sort in reality.

Made of wool fabric sewn to form the shape.

Ideal for reenactor, theatre or larp use, will suit a multitude of characters

If looking for a hat of this style online look for a medieval wool crown hat

Capotain

The Capotain (Copotain/Capatain) is tall wide-brimmed hat worn during the late 16th and 17th centuries

The hat is associated with Puritans and English Civil War

The hat is also with Pilgrim that settled in the Plymouth colony America in 1620, hence its often also called a Pilgrims Hat

The hat is also worn by witchfinders and had a buckle on the front of the crown, but both of these are images created in 19th Century fiction probably untrue. 

Slitted cap

This Tudor shape flat cap is made from one piece of felt

 

The crown is slitted around the edge to give it a distinctive look.

This is hat is part of our groups larp kit and has been around for donkey's years (donkey years = an unspecified long time) and worn by many people.

Recently patched with a bit of felt and glue wear one of split hat torn through.

Black Flat Cap

This velvet Tudor flat cap is a bit posh for the soldier wearing it below

 Part of a set of Tudor cap from a theatre sale

I think this hat needs a plume to enhance it, as its a little plain.

White Cowphat

A flat cap or Cow-pat hat

This was part of job lot of RSC hats I purchased, all in very good condition.

See labels theatrical hats for other cow-pat hats that came as part of this set.

Tudor Cap

This simple beige cloth pork pie is the universal Tudor cap

Worn by men and women in the Elizabethan era.

Shakespeare Might Have Made This

Another of the theatrical hats, this time a Tudor cow pat hat

No doubt an outcast from some Shakespearean production company.

A good all-round merchant to a noble hat to go with your Tudor costume

Morion Helmet

The Morion helmet is from the 16th and 17th Centuries. Also known in England as the pikeman's pot.

The crest along the top is designed to strengthen the helmet, its normally open face and wide-brimmed and from periods when gunpowder weapons were coming into common use.

Later versions added cheek and neck guards to protect against sword swings at the head.

In England, it is associated with the New Model Army, one of the first professional militaries. It was worn mainly by pikemen, although unarmoured musketeers also adopted it.

It's also commonly associated with the Spanish Conquistadors and the conquest of the Inca's by the Spanish. 

As well as the exploration of much of America's, several were found in Jamestown

The morion is still used by some ceremonial military units such as the guards of the Vatican

This copy is a fibreglass so purely decorative and not suitable for battle reenactment, but good lrp and theatre.

  This was a great Christmas gift from friends.

Chapo-turban

This chaperone from a set of medieval theatre hats is more Arabian Nights than medieval.

The fabrics that have been chosen along with the beads and sequins totally change the look of this headgear.

It now needs to be used for a character out of the stories of the Arabian Nights.

What's left of the fabric hangs down the back of the neck and is covered in sequins.

Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your point of view, there was no genie in the lamp.
