Late medieval cap Armin, brown

Product description

This late medieval cap is based on the round headgear that was worn in late medieval Europe. The model shows similarities with the Italian beret, which developed from simple, round cap-shaped hats. Similar headgear was already known in the late Roman period, including the pileus pannonicus, which was worn by Roman soldiers.

In the late medieval period, this type of hat became particularly popular in Flanders and Burgundy, and it was also widely worn by townspeople and citizens in Southern Europe. From the end of the medieval period onwards, the hat remained in use during the Renaissance. Younger wearers often wore it loosely and tilted on their head, while cardinals and other high-ranking persons wore it more upright, as can be seen in depictions of, among others, the doges of Venice.

The cap Armin is made from brown canvas cotton and is available in multiple sizes, so it fits almost everyone well. Would you like to personalize the model further? The cap lends itself excellently to decoration with embroidery, a feather, or a brooch.
