Late medieval dopje Armin, blue

Product description

This late medieval cap is based on the round headgear that was worn in late medieval Europe. The model shows similarities with the Italian beret, which developed from simple, round cap-shaped hats. Similar headgear was already known in the late Roman period, including the pileus pannonicus, which was worn by Roman soldiers.

In the late medieval period, this type of hat became particularly popular in Flanders and Burgundy, and it was also widely worn in Southern Europe by townspeople and citizens. From the end of the Middle Ages, the hat remained in use during the Renaissance. Younger wearers often wore it loosely and at an angle on their heads, while cardinals and other high-ranking persons wore it more upright, as seen in images of, among others, the doges of Venice.

The Armin hat is made from blue canvas cotton and is available in multiple sizes, so it fits almost everyone well. Would you like to personalize the model further? The hat lends itself excellently to decoration with embroidery, a feather or a brooch.
