No, but I am :-)

My ruling would be "no", as well, if I ever saw a man trying to wear one in 
a Regia context - after I stopped laughing.

What AS men wore on their heads is a matter for some debate, but I don't see 
any evidence for coif-style garments, which appear very different in 
construction - that's the cloth variety for all the combat wombats out there 
who think of coifs purely in terms of a mail garment
