Thanks for watching! ☺️ What is your favorite medieval head covering?

[@AlwaysToEnvy]

Lynne, I am in totally shocking, (Please pardon my grammar, I am deaf) I didn't know that low class commoners' "half hoodie" become chaperone for high class noble. I had thought about buying chaperone someday for my fun wearing it. I am so happy that you showing us how to do that as it seem so easy to fancy hoodie up into hat. I am still speechless. Thank you so much.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Have made a lined hood with liripipe, I can honestly say it was harder than I thought. I have made a chaperone too. However I am curious about what was used inside the rounded "poofy" part?

[@LynneFairchild]

Originally, they would roll the face edge of their hood and wear it as a hat, which created the rounded "poofy" part. Later, as the padded circular bourrelet (or rondel) evolved, the padding was filled with something else. As for what that padding was... One website that I found says that the padding was from the hair of dead women. www.articulatetree.com/historical-clothing/chaperon-headroll This pdf has lots of information: citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.604.8427&rep=rep1&type=pdf
