Wimple - 75x45cm
From Epic Armoury's Yoremade collection, the Wimple is a classic medieval headpiece built for the High and Late Medieval periods. Worn historically from the late 12th to early 14th century, it drapes over the head and secures around the neck, cheeks, and chin — the go-to head covering for a nun, a modest townswoman, or a traveling noblewoman.
At 75x45 cm, there's ample fabric to frame the face and cover the neck and chest without feeling heavy or fussy to tie. We use 100% cotton muslin here, a light, breathable choice that suits a garment worn close to the face and neck through a long, warm day at an event.
It's the kind of accessory that turns an ordinary outfit into a genuine historical impression — shielding the neck from the sun, hiding modern hairstyles, and anchoring your character solidly in the medieval period.
