Still in the thirteenth century, but going a bit simpler. Instead of the two cloths (kerchief and wimple) with the supporting fillet, today's kerchief is simply one long rectangle of linen (21" x 60"). It's draped over the head, then wrapped around the throat and tucked in at the side: no extra pieces, or pins needed.
