Padded Coif – Off-White Cotton Medieval Hood | Armor Liner & Halloween Gift

This Padded Medieval Coif is crafted from quilted 100% cotton fabric and padded with soft cotton felt for comfort and protection. Designed as a traditional gambeson collar and hood, it provides essential cushioning for the neck and shoulders, making it ideal for wear beneath chainmail or plate armor.

The coif features a leather adjustment strap with a brass buckle, allowing for a secure and comfortable fit. Additional riveted shoulder straps enable armor pieces to be fastened directly to the coif, improving stability and historical accuracy during reenactments or LARP combat.

Because it is made from breathable, organic cotton, this padded coif offers superior airflow compared to synthetic padding. It helps protect against sharp armor edges while absorbing impact, making it a practical and authentic under-armor solution. It can also be worn over a gambeson for added protection.
