Description
Long wool cloak, made of felted mustard coloured wool, keeping you warm and giving shelter from rain and wind.
The 12th-century coif is a simple, close-fitting cap that covers your hair and ears. In the Middle Ages, it was a staple for almost everyone, either worn on its own or as a base layer. If you're wearing a helmet or a mail coif, this piece is essential for stopping your hair from getting snagged in the metal and making the fit much more comfortable. We use breathable cotton for this coif to help keep your head cool when you're active. It secures with two simple ties under the chin, so it won't slide around while you move. While it's styled after high-medieval fashion, these stayed in use all the way through the late medieval period, so it fits a huge range of kits. The seams are sewn flat to prevent those annoying pressure marks you normally get from wearing headgear stacked up. It also acts as a sweat barrier, which helps keep your more expensive hats and helmets...
