Fighting while looking Fabulous --- The War Hats of the 17th Century.
Say you're living in 17th century Europe, perhaps England in the midst of the English Civil War. You're a participant in the war but you're not just any ordinary soldier. No, you are a gentleman and perhaps a noble. Therefore you can't just wear any ordinary helmet on your noggin.
Tumblr media
As a gentleman of noble birth you want to go into deadly combat looking fabulous, and you're not gonna just wear a pikeman's pot like those grass eating lower class infantry.
Tumblr media
In the 17th century this was a real problem, or a least it was perceived as a real problem to upper class gentleman of the age. One certainly wanted some form of armor to protect the head, yet at the same time one wanted to wear a fine fashionable hat. Style should not have to give way to head protection. So what do?
One early solution was the secrete, which was essentially just a steel skullcap which the user could wear under a hat. However the secrete offered very little protection compared to a regular helmet.
Tumblr media
The other option was to wear a helmet that looked like a hat. Throughout Europe in the 17th century armorers produced a number of special helmets and armored war hats that were made to look like fashionable hats commonly worn at the time.
Tumblr media
They would commonly be blackened and often covered with cloth or felt so that they would appear to be a real hat, at least at a distance. Such war hats also would have special attachments with which the hat could be decorated with plumes of feathers, flowers, cockades, and other decorations.
While the armored war hat is mostly associated with the Royalist Cavaliers of the English Civil War, they were used all over Europe in the 17th century. They generally fell out of favor by the end of the 17th century when firearms came to completely dominate the battlefield.

The one, the only, Jaime Lannister
Confession time... I'm a big redemption-arc Jaime apologist. Season 8 was a betrayal on every level and I reject D&D's decisions with Jaime. In a hilarious/devestating twist season 8 episode 2 was the second episode I'd ever watched (the first was the Sand-Snake vs Greyjoy episode with my cousins, and s8ep2 I watched when it came out with my friend) and it hooked me enough to give the rest of season 8 a fighting chance (guess how that went). So... I was already a Braime stan via the books and 8x02... there's a reason I'm still raging all these years later. I was already set up for failure with my Beauty and the Beast retellings obsession... I have to stop or I'll never stop. Anyway, Jaime apologist, I've decided he and Brienne have a happy ending. Who is your problematic asoiaf fave?

Outfits of the Guard from an older fic of mine, Tangerine and Roc. Supposed to be a bit of a mix of styles from Central Asia in the late 15th century as they go about their travels, with a little battle-ready touch.
