The pictures present our product in three versions: basic, made of the patterned wool, and made of silk from the special order.

Originally the shape of this hat was more sprawling, matching the popular court clothing, like houppelande or Burgundian dress. In the course of time (2nd half of the 15th century) it became more towering, and it’s “horns” almost joined. Later it evolved into the so-called hennin.

Escoffion on historical sources

An example of this headwear can be found in the Chronicles of Jean Froissart (1401-1500) in the form of richly decorated escoffions.
Simpler models are presented on the works of the anonymous Spanish painter from the half of the 15th century, currently stored in The Matropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
