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.

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!

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!

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

Wow medieval people realy had style.

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

Get you a guy who look good in a medieval hood (love your vid! Super helpful since I'm starting my journey in the world of Historical dress and recreation)

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

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.

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 😊

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

Very interesting. In future i will get some of these and wear for fashion. Yellow one is my favorie

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

very informative video.Thank you.I have been looking for a suitable hat to ear at medieval faires.I have two hoods,(winter and spring/autumn) i need something for our Australian Summers.The Bycocket looks to be what i need.

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

great video, very insightful! Concise too witch I appreciate

#BringBackBycockets!

Very informative, thank you!

Great video, very interesting !

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.

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?

Fabric was expensive so for most, everything was multipurpose

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.

muffin cap looks like a smurf hat

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

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. 🥴

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

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.
