Some types of medieval hats 

An advantage of the bycocket hat was there's no brim to get in the way when drawing a bow, whether the archer is right or left handed.

Nice video, I might go for the folded around hood you showed later in the video, then I can look like mister Fiore Dei Liberi, a kickass swordsman with a hat!

I'm a medieval enthusiasts and this video is exactly what I was looking for to decide on what type of hat to make for myself. I think I like the muffin cap. Looks easy for a sewing beginner to make and still looks good. The chaperon is probably my second favorite.

Hey random person on the internet. Thanks for making this video. It was amazingly good and informative and I enjoyed it.

Wonderful, I love the inclusion of manuscript depictions!

Going to our first ren faire this year and this was so so helpful! Thank you for sharing, and love the background with your many weapons 😊

Wow medieval people realy had style.

Wow! Loved that last bit of the hood! I had no idea!

I liked it, I would’ve just liked you to speak a little louder, you have great things to say.

great video, very insightful! Concise too witch I appreciate

Dude I like your video. Up your voice volume a little. And more hats!!! Looking for renaissance period but I appreciate all the info.

1) Arming Cap, or Padded Coif 2) Bycocket hat 3) Bag hat, or Muffin cap 4) the Hood

Very nice video. One thing I would appreciate is to give dates and locations of where the headwear was used.

In Spain, the bag beanie was called a "gorra" during the Hispano-Flemish period. That's become a general purpose word for caps today, so it's not an especially good way to solve the lack of a distinguishing name for it, but it's what I call mine.

#BringBackBycockets!

Sou'wester - modern Bycocket. Think about the practicality, protects from the sun and also diverts the rain.

muffin cap looks like a smurf hat

I cannot really find a decent hood, or bagged hat for sale anywhere. They all seem to be cheaply made, and not lines. Do you have the patterns for these anywhere?

Is that a functional shield on your wall? How did you get your heraldry on it?

There are paintings from the 13th century of both men and women wearing different styles of straw hats, some even shaped like the bike locket/ Robin Hood hat. There were thousands of different types of straw hats, worn by both men and women of every social class. I have a sneaking suspicion that humans have been sporting the wide brimmed hat since ‘pre civilization’. Having grown up in Texas, I wore many a straw hat in my lifetime. Most people in the world would call them cowboy hats nowadays, but we’ve always said “straw hat”. I was lead to believe that Stetson created the cowboy hat, but I saw some paintings from the 18th century, of big flat brimmed hats folded similarly to a cowboy hat. So I assumed that to be the origin. I recently came across a painting of a man in a straw hat with the brim up, just like a cowboy hat, that was from the early 14th century. A full 400 years earlier than I originally believed. That’s something that I find extremely interesting, this and other similarities I find between the cultures of the people of medieval Britain and the Southern American culture. We take pride in many things we retain from our heritage of the British isles, and often times, you’ll see us shocked when we learn that many of those things seemingly left with our ancestors, and have all but died out in modern British culture. Although, if you look closely, there’s still shared cultural expression.

Do you know what fabric the hood is made out of ?? And good video by the way.

video rất hay và chi tiết. chúc bạn thành công ,nho subscribed va Like

Fabric was expensive so for most, everything was multipurpose

why do you think several styles had long pointy 'tails'??

Is it pronounced "koyf" and not "kwahf"? I thought it came from the french "coiffure". Is it pronounced differently for specific reasons? I'm intrigued and confused. 🥴

genius. good jokes.

I love God and Jesus with all my heart!

most headwear from old times I have seen are just awfully looking. I wonder why.

Lol homies wearing their hats backward is ye old school

Two words, lapel microphone.
