Description
This style of arming cap/coif was worn throughout the medieval times by all ages and classes.
A coif can be worn by itself to cover the head from sun or wind, to keep ones hair in place or as a nightcap at cold inside or outside camping events. Sometimes a coif was also combined with some kind of hat, cap or hood or a combination of cap and hood.
Besides as every day garment it can also be used as arming cap for Heavy Fighting or Fencing as extra layer between helmet padding and head. It really helps to keep longer hair in its place and out of the face.

* The picture shows this coif on a head with a circumference of 24.75 inch measured above the brow line. Some customers with less head circumference like this large style as it provides them with a very comfortable loose fit.
** This coif is made from a slightly heavier cotton/linen mix fabric with a very interesting weaving pattern. Though it appears cool to the touch my husband described the material as warm while worn.
We would recommend it for normal to slightly cooler weather, probably worn with a hat or cap.
Please note that the sizes can vary from head to head because of head shapes and sizes as well as used materials.
