Woolen hat in the style of Robin Hood with an elongated "beak". Two-color, made of wool.



Woolen hunting cap (also called a “bycocket hat”) is the perfect addition to a medieval outfit, inspired by the style of historical headgear. It has a characteristic, long peak, which emphasizes the uniqueness of the cap and optically lengthens the silhouette. Its lower part is turned up and finished with a wave.

This classic, minimalist cut is suitable for historical hunting, medieval reenactment events or everyday use as an unusual addition to official attire. This hat is suitable for men, women and even children.

Functionality and authenticity make it an excellent choice for medieval archers or as a fashionable addition to official court attire.

The hunting headgear is made of woolen fabric with a linen lining. The turn-up is also woolen, but we can make it from a patterned material.

This type of cap looks best made of two different colors of wool (other base color and other turn-up).
