Headwear
« on: 2014-03-24, 01:52:45 »
Recalling from an old post what Ian had said: "No gentle should be seen with an uncovered head!" I decided that in order to accurately portray an 11th century Norman I would need period correct headwear. And thus I bought this...



and then I realized that if I flip it inside out, I get this...



I must resist the urge to buy a blue tunic and white hose.

Right after I got it and tried it on, my roommate kept singing the damn Smurf theme song.

If you don't stop smurfing the smurf theme smurf, I'm afraid I'll have to smurf your smurf.

Love it!  I'm dating myself here, but we had the Smurfs adventure game for the Colecovision.  For the younger readers, this was one of the precursors to the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), a video gaming system that came out- I just realized- before you were born.  Wow, that makes me feel old!  lol

I usually go with a simple linen coif, haven't seen any headgear that appeals to me.  Or isn't complicated.
