Which types of fabric are best suited for sewing historically authentic medieval headwear?

For sewing historically authentic medieval headwear, natural fabrics such as linen and wool are particularly suitable, as these were widely used in the Middle Ages. While linen is ideal for light bonnets or linings, woolen fabrics such as boiled wool or finer wool cloth are suitable for warmer headwear like hoods or felt caps. For high-ranking individuals or the nobility, luxurious materials such as real silk, brocade, or silk velvet can also be used.

The book offers instructions and patterns for veils, hoods, cowls, caps, hats, and bonnets. The selection ranges from early medieval versions to variations from the Maciejowski Bible and the Codex Manesse, and includes reconstructions of high medieval finds from London.
What historical sources and finds served as the basis for the reconstructions and sewing instructions in this book?

The reconstructions and sewing instructions in this book are based on meticulous research of various historical sources.
