Purple Bonnet

A decorated purple beret or bonnet 

This cap is made of a bright purple velvet-like fabric

Decorated with a feather, beads and binding.

The cap would fit what is called the renaissance period

An elasticated headband makes it one size fits all (unless youre an alien)

Leather Goblin Hat

 

A leather skull cap with a tail

This is an odd cap I spotted at a market, it's made of leather with a long section at the rear reminiscent of a nightcap in some ways.

The crude look of the stitching makes me think of something a goblin might wear in a fantasy image.

Another possibility might be a librarians cap or perhaps somewhere to took your long hair

I'm please with this find and hope to find a character or multiple characters to wear it. 

Diving Helm

A steam punk based diving helm.

This helmet is homemade, constructed from high-density foam and a clear plastic dome.

The construction involved lots of contact adhesive but was relatively simple in shape and form, preformed foam hexagons help decorate the construction

 

The final result was then painted with flexithane paint mixed with brass powder pigment.

I finally added a couple of pieces of flexible plastic conduit sprayed with brass paint to provide the helmet's mock air supply.

Galactic Empire Cap

This hat is a novelty representation of an officer's cap in the Star Wars universe. 

The rank of First Order in the Galactic Empire 

The hat was originally purchased to be given away as a gift to a star wars fan, but unfortunately was not of good enough quality, so ended up in my junk hat pile.

Made of poor quality fabric over the foam to provide the shape, glued rather than stitched in places and complete with a badge that spikes through the foam into the forehead, making it almost impossible to wear. Avoid if you see it my recomendation. 

Also, it looks grey in the advert, what came is black. 

Better cosplay star wars hats are available although may cost a bit more would be worth it.

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.
