Robert Medieval Linen Coif: Authentic 13th-15th Century Headwear for Reenactment and LARP

Material: 100% Baltic Linen 150 GSM

The "Robert" Linen Coif is inspired by the versatile and practical headwear worn by people across social classes in medieval Europe, from the 13th to 15th centuries. Crafted from 100% Baltic linen at 150 GSM (grams per square meter, indicating fabric weight), this coif offers a lightweight, breathable layer ideal for historical reenactments, LARP, and SCA events.

Coifs like this were a staple in medieval attire, valued for their simplicity and practicality. Worn by peasants, soldiers, and knights alike, coifs provided protection and comfort. Soldiers and knights often wore them as a base layer under helmets, absorbing sweat and providing a buffer between the skin and metal, while peasants wore them for warmth and modesty during outdoor work. The coif could also be worn alone, adding an understated, period-accurate touch to any medieval or early Renaissance outfit.

The "Robert" Coif’s simple, fitted design fastens securely under the chin, ensuring it stays in place during active use while maintaining a historically accurate look. With two available sizes—M and L—this coif is tailored to provide a comfortable fit for various head sizes.

Whether layered under armor or worn on its own, the Robert coif brings historical authenticity to any character, offering a blend of function, comfort, and timeless medieval style.
