Sir William:
I use a vintage pilot's leather helmet for my liner...but I'm not fighting currently, so it is suitable for dress purposes.  You could put an aventail on the helm thereby making it look as if you're wearing a maille coif w/out actually having to, and your neck will be better protected.

Sir James A:

--- Quote from: Sir Edward on 2012-01-17, 14:36:14 ---Historically they'd have been used with a coif, but since that doesn't fit with yours, probably the next best thing is to cheat and use a mail standard. Those weren't really used until much later with plate armor, but at least it would look mostly right when you have it all on (hence the cheating).

Yep, I second Sir Edward's suggestion of the mail standard. If you do a plastic/leather-backed standard, you can ditch the gorget you have now and use just the standard. And with the solid backing behind it, it's still protective; and more than just a regular aventail/coif would be, too.
