Mid-16th century coif.

Looking forward to a brilliant future in the 17th century.

One early 16th century (Henrician) coif, per the Tudor Tailor.  I enlarged it by 1.25" circumference at the band and around the brim to fit my head. I also increased the diameter of the cap to 12" (including seam allowances), both to fit the larger brim, and to ensure adequate space for my hair.  The instructions call for the brim to be wired, but when I tried it on for fit, the medium-weight linen I had sufficient body to stand on its own. So, for now, I'm keeping it un-wired for easy laundering, and will add wire in the future as needed.
