Hi,
a headkerchief is an excellent foundation for a
veil to be pinned onto it. My hair is extremely
thin and nothing will hold in it, but a small
cloth, worn like a bandana, is a good substitute
for hair. It also covers all modern haircuts. If
it´s rather large, like a carré, it also gives a
nice working-woman look with the ends tucked in at the back.
If you like a coif, you might like the cap of St.
Birgitta. It´s a bit later than your era, but
there are pictures of women wearing similar
styles in earlier times. There´s a bit on it here

Tempora nostra is a group representing life
around 1300. Maybe you find something on their
page http://www.tempora-nostra.de/wirueberuns.shtml
This is from 1310 Cologne http://www.ca1310.de/kleidung/kopfb1.htm
If you go to the MoAS-Links of Atlantia, I am
sure you´ll find some English groups as well.
Best wishes,
Hanna

Hi all. My SCA persona's appr. time is 1312, England.
A few months ago, I got my very long hair cut short; love it--no
regrets. Made a sizable donation to Locks of Love, a charity I would
encourage you to consider if you are getting your long hair cut.
Anyway, the problem:
My hair is naturally very wavy and has a lot of bounce. My summer
coif isn't heavy enough to keep my hair down. Might anyone know if women
of this period wore linen headkerchiefs? I'm trying to stay away from
turbans--things like that give me headaches.
Any links would be hugely appreciated!
Much thanks,
Arlys
