Add a feudal touch to your gear with our crenellated liripipe hood. This two-tone model will easily match your coat of arms or the style of your clan.
In the Middle Ages hoods were worn by all social classes. They were an essential accessorie to protect the head as well as the shoulders from the cold and bad weather thus they are inseparable from the medieval style. It is interesting to note that from the 14th century this type of headgear became an object of fashion and social demarcation. Previously sober and simply functional, new cuts as well as a wide variety of ornamentation and colors have appeared.
It was therefore in the 14th century that the liripipe (liripipium in medieval Latin) became popular. This hood ends in the shape of a tail. The length of this tail has become a way for the wealthy to display their status. The length ranged from very short for those who couldn't afford to spend the money on expensive "unnecessary" fabric, to very long and showy extensions for the rich.
Relatively loose, this hood adapts to your shape and can be worn over light armor. You will benefit a comfortable protection against the elements. Made of poly-cotton, it is a robust and easy-to-maintain garment that will accompany you for a long time on your adventures!
