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.

Another Black Hat with Badge

This is a different hat with a different badge to one posted in March, although very similar 

So it seems when I took these photos that I was in a mood to pull funny faces.

A kind of muffin cap but the crown is not quite baggy enough

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.

Hat With Badge

 This black fabric hat is a basic bag form with its edge rolled back on itself to form the brim.

It could fit many periods from Medieval or older to the present day.

Decorated with a metal badge, it gives it a more medieval feel, although the fabric is far from authentic for the period.

Rusty Red Wool Hat

A muffin style medieval hat. 

Made from wool fabric.

This hat is more rusty red in real life than in the photos.

This hat was a freebie from a friend who was downsizing his costume hoard he had to create house space.

Photos were taken using my mobile phone which create a little bit of fish eye look 

 

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.

Grey Woolen Hood

 Hoods or garments with hoods date back to at least the early medieval period. 

The word “hood” seems to come from the Anglo-Saxon word “höd,” which has the same source as the word “hat.” 

This hood should have been ironed before being photographed as it was crushed up in the bottom of a kit bag, I think the photos were taken 2015.

Green Hood

This hood was on its way from a friend to a car boot, but I decided to intercept it and put it to use in our crew kit.

A basic cotton hood with a long Lirpipe i,e the tail of hood seen from the back.

The Liripipe was popular in the late medieval period and could be wrapped around the neck like a scarf, however, most were a purely decorative element.

This hood also has a large mantle, this is the part covering the shoulders, this mantle comes down the well below the chest.

Another feature of this hood is the drawstring around the opening for the face, as far as I'm aware this is not a medieval feature, but certainly a useful one.

Reversible hat

The fabric hat is reversible so you can a brown or red hat 

I would hazard a guess that the hat is a medieval style, the kind that would normally be made from wool.

The hat is basically a square bag, that follows the shape of the head when worn and leaving 4 corners at the crown where there is an air pocket above your head.

Many shapes of historical hats do not have names, you could call it a beanie of shorts

I would say this hat suitable for any period from at least the 13th to 18th century. 

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

Fez like

This tapering hat is very fez like in shape, but lacks the tassel on top and is actually too tall,

however I suppose you might still call a fez.

A hat for use in War of the Roses medieval reenactment the shape can be seen in many contemporary illustrations.

I can't remember where I got this, as it was over 15 years ago but would have been a reenactors market no doubt.

Worn a couple of times, but never found a costume that it went with so ended up not being used much.
