A type of medieval headwear made of wool. Our fringed hood does not have a lining. It’s elastic and fitted to the head shape. Medieval fringed hood is an all-purpose garment: it will match both civil costume (also in the form of elegant chaperon), as well as an under-helmet garment for a knight.
A fringed hood gained popularity among medieval knights mostly because of its practical features. It does not have a fashionable liripipe, which could make a problem during a duel. But it has decorative fringes which are far less problematic in fight.
Our medieval fringed hood is also more fitted to head shape than other models for civilians. Thanks to this solution the hood keeps its protective features against wind and cold, at the same time allowing for putting on a helmet, like a kettle hat.
You can find a similar fringed hood on the Altar of the Three Kings by Hans Pleydenwurff - a painting from around 1460.
