About our Chaperone Hat
Fifteenth century fashion is nothing, if not dramatic, and a part of that drama comes from the panoply of headgear worn by both sexes throughout the period. We've chosen four different styles for our men's line that run the gamut from practical to outright outlandish; The Stuffed Chaperone, The Italianate Hat, The Acorn Hat and The Sock Hat. The Stuffed Chaperone was a natural evolution of the rolled hoodthat became popular with fashionable courtiers and magnates in the late 14th century. The rolled face of the hood is replaced with a stuffed tube that forms the body of the hat, but the dagged “cock's comb” and long liripipe remain for dramatic effect. This was a poplar hat with the nobility, knights and wealthy merchants, and is periodically seen on well-born women, particularly when worn with a houppelande or the old-fashioned sideless surcoat or worn by gentlemen men with cotte or doublet. This hat has different looks depending on how you choose to arrange the dags and tail.
