Here's a further attempt at 1275-1300 or so headwear to wear with medieval garb. (Sorry, only the headwear is medieval in this pic, though.) The hairnet is the one I made a couple of weeks ago. The hat is a sort of "pie crust" hat like the ones in the Manesse Codex. It is made of linen. The linen barbette (chin band) is a new attempt, and if you look at the period pictures here you see that many of them have a line going up the side of the head, sort of angled in the middle of the barbette. Notice that my new version of the barbette also has this line! I need to pin the barbette lower on the upper back of my head, though, to get the most authentic look. See my previous picture for more examples of the hairnet in this type of style. This looks to me 100% better than the earlier picture I posted. It also seems to be very secure -- it's not going anywhere, unlike some of the veils I've worn on windy days! I believe I'll wear it to my next SCA event. See www.capiti.de/das-gebende.html which looks very much like this hat.
