It's been a while since I've posted. Life keeps rolling on, but there has been some progress.
A few days ago, I finished some simple coifs for the hubs. He likes to wear them instead of a sweat band under his mask when fencing. As you might guess, they see a fair amount of abuse.
These are made of three pieces, similar to the pattern described here. From my research of female coifs, I know they were typically made of a single layer and not lined. Unlined is better in the heat, so I've been told by the hubs, so both of these are unlined.
