Hi Zuzana, Are you looking for books on millinery making in general? If so I suggest From the Neck Up, which you can get at http://www.hatbook.com/ .
If you are looking for a book just on medieval and renaissance hats in general, I've yet to find one myself, so I too would love to know of any books on the subject. The Tudor Tailor book does have a few patterns for medieval and Elizabethan hats, hoods, and coifs, along with other clothing patterns and info. The only hat focused stuff I've yet to find are usually people's bad interpretations of any particular styles (ie visor French Hoods), or are hand redrawn images of people's portraits (ie: Wilcox's The Mode in Hats and Headdress, which is usually more expensive than I am willing to pay for redrawings.) The other options have been picking up various hat patterns from those who do them well, such as Lynn McMasters' patterns http://www.lynnmcmasters.com/. I've also found a few places on the 'net, such as Cynthia Virtues site on medieval hats (and other stuff): http://www.virtue.to/articles/ If you, or anyone else knows a good book on medieval and renaissance hats, I would love to know.

I found some useful tips in the Medieval > tailor's assistant, but that's about it. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
