Options
With the following options Option#a will always be the 1/2 inch rings
and Option#b will always be the 5/16ths inch rings
Option 1: Headpiece: This is a relatively small and inexpensive
option that also looks really cool. This piece covers the top of the head
coming down a little past the ear line. Main problem with this design is
that if you bend over or lean your head down it can fall off.
Option 2: Full Coif: This coif is similar to the one pictured above
just without the Bishop's Mantle. It generally covers down to the base of
the neck with relative ease. It is closed in the front of the neck as well.
Option 3: Full Coif with Mantle (pictured): This is the classic
piece that everyone thinks of when they think of the Coif. It has the full
coif attached to a Bishop's Mantle. The Bishop's Mantle covers any portions
of the neck not covered by the Coif and expands to cover the upper
shoulders. This is a truly beautiful piece. I have had many people try it on
and it has looked good on everyone! It looks its best when worn by a man
with full mustache and beard.
Option 4: Bishops Mantle: For those of you who just want the mantle
we have decided to give you that option. The Bishop's Mantle is
traditionally worn with a coif but is occasionally used by itself for look.
As a separate piece the mantle only covers the upper shoulders up to the
neck.
