It’s a simple, rounded hat that was a standard piece of clothing for everyone from wealthy merchants to scholars during the Renaissance. If you're building a kit from that period, this hat provides that specific historical silhouette without needing a complex headpiece.
We chose brushed wool for this hat because it has a soft, matte finish that looks like traditional felt but stays comfortable all day. The wool is sturdy enough to hold its flat shape, but it’s still flexible enough that you can tilt it or pin a brooch to it to fit your character's personality. It’s a straightforward accessory that adds a layer of detail to a costume without being distracting.
Getting the right fit is important for a hat like this, so we made it in four distinct sizes. We've listed the measurements in centimeters, from 56cm up to 62cm, to make sure you can pick the one that actually sits right on your head. It’s a practical, no-nonsense piece of headwear that works just as well for a historical reenactment as it does for a fantasy character.

Your horse gallops out onto the fields of a vast plain, chasing after the few orcs fleeing from your arrows. Your horsebow gleams beneath the sunlight, and every arrow you let fly finds its mark. With balance and elven grace, you reach for another arrow in your quiver.
The orcs made a mistake when they entered your family’s forest. You successfully taunted their scouting party into a trap, and now all that is left is a little cleanup.

HISTORY

You tighten your Ring Belt another notch, frowning at the watered-down soup over the fire. It’s been a long winter, and you and your family aren’t sure you’re going to have enough food. As you consider ways you might be able to afford some meat--maybe you can do some work for a merchant in town?--there’s an anxious knock on the door.
“Raiders!” shouts the messenger on your doorstep. “Raiders are coming! Every able person is being called to fight!”
Suddenly an empty belly is the least of your worries.

Oh no, you think, as a sword and a helmet are thrust into your farm-calloused hands. You’ve never been trained as a soldier, let alone asked to fight on a dangerous battlefield!
But here you are, suddenly standing in a row of your neighbors. You await the advancing orc raid said to be headed for your farms and your town, and you just hope that somehow you’ll make it through. At least your Helmet feels solid on your head. That’s something to be thankful for, at least...right?
