Plain Medieval Coif, natural-coloured

Plain Medieval Coif without Ties, natural-coloured

This medieval coif (also: coiffe) made of a simple cotton fabric is loosely placed upon the head.

Coifs were already worn in the 12th century, as evidenced by numerous contemporary illustrations. In the European Middle Ages, wearing headgear was commonplace and headwear of the kind we offer here did not only cover the heads of children, women and men of the lower classes, but was also worn (in padded form) by warriors under a chainmail coif or a helmet.

This nice, unostentatious coif is ideal for medieval markets, LARP, reenactment or living history.

As authentic as possible, as modern as necessary!
This medieval coiffe is part of Battle-Merchant's line of period clothing and medieval garments for men, women and children. From the first sketch to the last stitch, this garment was planned, designed and handcrafted with particular attention to detail. Our clothes are modeled (sometimes accurately, sometimes less so) on historical examples, grave finds and original museum pieces where they exist. We always endeavour to keep the necessary adjustments to today's standards, e.g. in terms of size and manufacturing process, to a minimum. Just see for yourself!
