The Castilla Bonnet is made of 100% cotton with ties at the back to keep it securely fastened. The hood drapes just over the shoulders and provides an authentic medieval look.
The hood was an almost indispensable piece of clothing; it not only protected the wearer's hair from dirt and weather during work but also signified a woman's status. In the Middle Ages, only unmarried women were allowed to wear their hair uncovered. A married woman without headgear was considered a \"\"loose woman.\"\" Hoods in many colors and shapes are an integral part of any costume.
