Knight's Comfort Padded Arming Cap: Essential Headwear for Reenactment and LARP

Material:100% Baltic Linen 150 GSM

Our "Knight's Comfort" Padded Arming Cap is crafted to provide practical, lightweight protection for the top of the head, inspired by historical headwear used by soldiers and civilians alike. Made from 100% Baltic linen at 220 GSM, this cap is designed to sit comfortably on the crown, adding a layer of cushioning that fits easily under helmets without the full coverage of a coif. Its breathable linen construction makes it ideal for extended wear during reenactments, LARP, SCA, and living history events.

Historically, padded caps like this were worn by archers, light infantry, and townsfolk seeking simple head protection rather than the full coverage of a coif. The cap provides a convenient and comfortable way to cushion the top of the head, reducing minor impacts and absorbing moisture under metal helmets. Its easy-to-wear design made it a popular choice for soldiers who needed periodic head protection but wanted the flexibility to remove it without the ties or extended coverage of a coif.

This arming cap suits a range of medieval roles, adding authenticity and comfort to any historical kit. Available in two sizes—M and L—it can be worn alone or beneath a helmet, making it a versatile accessory for any reenactor looking for functional and historically inspired headwear.
