A type of medieval headwear made of wool. Our fringed hood does not have a lining. It’s elastic and fitted to the head shape. Medieval fringed hood is an all-purpose garment: it will match both civil costume (also in the form of elegant chaperon), as well as an under-helmet garment for a knight.

Who wore a fringed hood in the Middle Ages?

A fringed hood gained popularity among medieval knights mostly because of its practical features. It does not have a fashionable liripipe, which could make a problem during a duel. But it has decorative fringes which are far less problematic in fight.

Our medieval fringed hood is also more fitted to head shape than other models for civilians. Thanks to this solution the hood keeps its protective features against wind and cold, at the same time allowing for putting on a helmet, like a kettle hat.

REMEMBER!
If you want your order to be realized FASTER, please provide us your head girth (B1) and neck girth (B2) during placing it. This will speed up production, so your hood will come to you sooner!

Where can I find a historical example of a fringed hood?

You can find a similar fringed hood on the Altar of the Three Kings by Hans Pleydenwurff - a painting from around 1460.

What are the types of medieval headwear?

Similarly to the outer garment, headwears speaks of the social status and in case of women of their marital status. In medieval iconography hardly ever can we find figures without any head wear. During all the period of the Middle Ages a hood was the most widespread head wear. Its functions were protective and sometimes symbolic, ritual or representative. Medieval headwear includes: caps, hats, coifs, hoods, kerchiefs and others. Hoods were often made of cloth, however caps and hats were made of felt.
