how to make a coif

medieval history
Right, now that we have the main piece, we join it with two small straps at what will soon be the forehead and the chin.
Before you continue, you need to count the rings of the top row(marked in red). For typical 2mm thick wire and 10mm inner diameter of the rings(sorry but i will use metric system -inches,gauges and the like are not for me) there should be around 50 - 70 rings, depending on the size of the coif.
