Medieval Hood – Historical Headgear

The medieval hood is one of the most recognizable and practical pieces of clothing from ancient times. It served not only as decoration but above all as protection against cold, wind, and rain. This historical headgear was worn by peasants, townspeople, and knights alike, fulfilling both utilitarian and aesthetic purposes.

Medieval hood was most often made of wool, ensuring comfort and durability. Over time, the hood took on various forms – from simple, short models to ornately decorated ones with a long tail (liripipe), which became a fashionable accent in the 14th and 15th centuries. In some regions, it was also worn under a helmet, making it a protective element of military attire.

Today, the medieval hood is a must-have for reenactment enthusiasts, participants in historical fairs, groups recreating everyday life in the Middle Ages, and LARP participants. It combines authenticity, functionality, and tradition, capturing the atmosphere of bygone ages. It will also work well in everyday life, for folk and Slavic stylings.
