The argument seems to be running along the lines of, "Well, there are these pictures of guys in full armor with netted hats on their heads and helmets laying about nearby. Ergo; those netted hats must be worn under their armor. Logical fallacies abound with this line of reasoning (see my notes above about ‘pimping ones portraiture’) but the one thing I can’t shake is the idea that German (and Italian) men seemed to dig on the long haired look and that controlling those lovely locks might be easier with a net than with the sorts of leather/woolen arming caps that I normally associate with helmets.
*Hummm…*
Thoughts? Feelings? Do you happen to have any of those images of helmets with leather/woolen caps scanned? Care to share? *grin*
