Ninja Hood

 I call this a Ninja hood, but not sure what it really is or where it came from, I think it's actually a Halloween horror mask.

The hood has a mesh net sewn in over the face and the rim around the mesh put the rest of your face in shadow.

Which is easy to see out of but hides the identity of the face behind it.

Not only that the black hood with the mesh darkening your face make you invisible in the dark when combined with other black clothing.

So ideal for raiding an oriental castle on a moonless night.

Plague Mask

During the 17th Century, beaked masks were worn by so-called 'Plague Doctors' in Italy (and to a lesser degree in other parts of Europe) as part of the overall protective wardrobe.

The mask was worn along with spectacles, leather gloves, long coats and trousers sewn into their boots. The overall look was very dark and ominous.  

The mask was intended to protect the doctor from the plagues miasma spread through poisoned air that in turn imbalance a person humors, this was in a time before germs were understood.

 (The four humors medicine are black bile, yellow bile, phlegm and blood)

The mask was filled with perfumes and other smelly stuff which was believed to help protect the wearer.

This is an Italian carnival style version of mask

This particular mask was given to our lrp group by one of our crew

Minotaur

This foam, latex and faux fur mask was made by Mandala Studios 

Mandala have cracked it when it comes lrp masks, their masks are comfortable and always have good vision, this one included, they are as practical as a mask can be. 

This one comes with a strap to hold in place

Mask with Hat

Well the picture and title say it all its a mask with hat shape cast into it, in this case probably the start of tricorn.

Latex Skeleton Mask

There are other things you can wear on head besides hats such as hoods, wigs, crowns and one of the other things is masks

This latex mask I'm wearing is from the Ascendancy prop box

Latex masks can be half masks which leave the mouth uncovered, face masks just covering the eyes and forehead or like this one full head masks covering the whole face and head.
These full head masks are the worst to wear as they restrict breathing but the main problem is condensation from breathing and general sweat.

You get a little puddle of fluid in the chin of this mask after wearing it for half an hour.
