The Coif is white linen cap worn by both sexes, close-fitting to the head and tied under the chin with strings. Worn from the early Middle Ages onwards as a nightcap or under another cap, head-dress or hat. Also worn by professional men in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, by churchmen, lawyers and academics.
