A coif is a close fitting cap that covers top, back, and sides of the head, popular for all classes in England and Scotland from the Middle Ages to the the early seventeenth century (and later as an old-fashioned cap for countrywomen).
Tudor and earlier coifs are usually made of unadorned white linen and tie under the chin. In the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, coifs were frequently decorated with blackwork embroidery and lace edging.
