Already that season of fans of the series "Game of Thrones" is concerned about the headgear of the actors. Why do heroes, especially those who are scripted in the north, do not wear any hats or caps? He writes about it Meduza.
In 2013, the user Reddit with nickname Samalamalam expressed his assumption. Version Samalamalam it is quite realistic - they do not wear hats, so as not to cover their ears and thereby not to impair their hearing.
Here's what he wrote about this: “If you put on a hat, hood or helmet, the ability to hear becomes worse. The scouts began to go on raids with their heads uncovered so as not to be ambushed, and at the same time show how cool they are. And the other members of the Night Watch adopted this habit. And it became a matter of pride for all the "ravens".
But in fact, everything turned out to be much easier.
In a recent interview for The New York Times, Keith Harington, the performer of the role of John Snow, answered the question of the journalist about why all the characters go without headgear, despite the fact that winter has come and it is already cold enough.
Harington said that he even asked him to give him a cap during the filming in Iceland, because he was cold. But he refused.
“We have repeatedly argued on this topic - should people wear hats in the North or not. It's ridiculous to walk bareheaded in cold climates, ”Keith said.
The creators of the series decided to abandon the caps for a long time, because they believe that hats can cover the faces of the characters.
If the characters wore hats or caps, then in certain scenes they would be difficult to distinguish from each other.
“And believe me, no one wanted to wear a hat stronger than me,” added actor Kit Harington.
