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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, I got a blank shield (from Oakheart Armory) and I painted my arms on it using acrylic paints and I made some paper stencils for the charges. Funny you should ask, within the next week or couple of weeks I'm going to be making a few heater shields. So I'll probably have a video or two on how to make them.

Get linden strips, make your own. Don't buy overpriced crap that was made in China. Ever. Hell, if I can't make my own tools I commission a blacksmith (in the UK or continental Europe preferably) to make them. I'll go to any length to avoid rewarding people exploiting our history.

I'd say head coverings were not more important for either men or women, especially when talking about the nobility. Women's usage was about staying covered and showing status. Men's was about the latter but also about the vital social interactions relating to when and how to take them off and put them back on again, and too whom. This (like modesty in the reverse) is an application for men that does not exist for women. Not taking ones hat off before a social superior, from the king down to ones own father, was a serious insult worthy of reprisal. If two men considered themselves equals, they would both doff at the same time to indicate this, with meaningful implications for who put it back on first. If you had a medical reason for always remaining covered, you might have to get an official license before going to court so that you could show it to keep from offending anyone. These strict rules were much more lax the lower one's class, but the same was true for women and their rules regarding modesty as well. Whether male or female, and especially the higher one's standing, you could be socially ruined or even face official censure and punishment if you did head coverings incorrectly.

Do you know what fabric the hood is made out of ?? And good video by the way.
@Ralchire5 жыл бұрын
Thank you, it really means a lot! And yes, I made the hood out of two kinds of fabric. The outer shell is made of wool, but as for the inner lining I used some unknown extra fabric that was lying around, however I am pretty sure it's linen due to the way it behaves and feels. The bag hat, as mentioned, is made from wool and linen. The arming cap is the same unknown maybe-linen that I used for the inside of the hood. The bycocket is actually made from a similarly unknown felt-like synthetic material.
