Replica Embroidered Linen Coif

$45.00

Single-layered, 100% linen, Elizabethan ladies hair covering with long cotton tapes to tie around the hair. The fabric was custom machine-embroidered in black thread, as a replica of the blackwork embroidery pattern on an extant 16th century hood in the V&A museum.  Shape and construction of the coif are based on a number of extant 16th century coifs.

Small-scale cotton lace on the edge and  finishes it off neatly. If you’d like rayon cord on the edge instead of the lace, please just order one of these and leave a note in the checkout section that you’d like the different edge finish. Allow 7 days before shipping for me to make it for you.

These fit a 21-23.5″ head with an average to full head of hair, with or without an extra added braid. If you are interested in a smaller or child-sized coif, or a coif for a larger face or extra thick hair, please just order one of these and leave a note in the checkout section that you’d like this different size. Allow 7 days before shipping for me to make it for you, as I don’t keep all sizes in stock at all times.
