Thank you. Very interesting. Looks like what I want is a caul with a
decorated billiment. Does that sound like what they were wearing in 1570's?

A caul on its own is more likely. Billiments generally appeared on

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:

Have you looked here yet?

While I agree with Laura on how coifs were probably worn, there is
some debate about who would have worn them and under what
circumstances. In the 1570s, coifs were probably worn in public
mostly by the middle and lower classes, not by the upper and noble
classes. The very fancy ones
Yes, that looks very much like what I want to make. Is it a flat piece, like
a french hood, or a decorated roll?

Just to make sure I understand this, there is a difference between
coif and caul, isn't there?
I've always thought the coif was the embroider (or not) little hat
item that covers the top, side and back of the head, basically a
shaped folded piece of cloth.
A caul was more of a cap worn on the
Could you describe more fully what you are terming a coif and a
headkerchief?
The classic style for early 1300s is with the hair in knobs, loops or
columns at the temples, with one piece of cloth (wimple?) round the
throat, under the chin and pulled up to the temples and another
(veil?)
I was going to make a caul, but was looking for something different to go
over/with it, hence the decorated roll/billiment/whatever. I had a hat
before, but found that it gets really hot, so was hoping to find something

From my understanding, it's constructed like a french hood except the base
doesn't cover the ears but sits more like a headband with the crescent
sitting on top.

I think a caul would work with the later period french hood/billiment,
especially in the heat.

Yes. At least modern people make a distinction.

It might be cooler, but if you are concerned with historical
accuracy, be aware that this is a modern hybrid and not a historical
style. What about putting a veil over it, as Elizabeth did?

back. Do you think it was a caul or just that the veil can't be seen?
