Liripipe hood in historical sources

Usually, historical sources present this model of medieval hood with a liripipe decorated with a cutout. You can find it on the pages of comédies de Térence, illustrated in the 15th century.


What is the role of liripipe in hood?

A liripipe is a characteristic element of a few medieval hoods from our assortment. The reasons for introducing this long tail are not entirely clear and we can assume that it’s a simple, yet effective, item of the former fashion. A liripipe could be worn loosely on the back, wrapped around the head, or on the shoulder.

Still, a tail has some practical features. Wrapped around the head, it prevents the hood from slipping off, which is important for a knight or fighter. You can also easily transform a medieval hood into a fabulous chaperon.
This medieval hood has a characteristic long tail -
a liripipe - and a collar reaching the shoulders.
