Question about English (US)
What does I had to yank my hair to the top of my head and pin it there, then hide it under my ever-so-luxuriant chestnut wig, into the coif of which I had incorporated and fastened my hat.
1) What is a wig?
2) What is a coif? Is a coif different from a wig here? mean?

wig = fake hair
coif = a hairstyle
The person put on fake hair that was styled and had a hat attached to it.

@jimpjorps Thank you for your answer. So, quick question: Is a coif here is mentioning the ever-so-luxuriant chestnut wig?

The wig is the object, and the coif is the way it is styled and decorated.

@gadgeteer 지나가다가 우연히 질문을 보게 됐습니다. 질문이 머리에 쓰는 것애 관한 것아라고 생각되는데요, 구글에 coif images 검색하시면 그 이미지가 나와 있습니다. coif는 두건으로, 자신의 머리카락과 전혀 별개의 것아고 가발과도 다른 것으로 보입니다. 제 피드백이 도움이 되었길 바래요.

@pt707 지나가다가 글 남겨주셔서 감사합니다. 사전 용례에 따르면, coif 즉 코이프는 '두건(https://wiko.wiki/wiki/Coif, https://www.pngwing.com/ko/free-png-pqedh, https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EC%97%98%EB%A6%A...) '이란 뜻과, '잘 매만진 머리모양(=COIFFURE)', 두개 정도의 해석이 가능해보입니다. 다만, 두건은 유럽에서 16세기까지는 활발하게 쓰였으나, 그후는 거의 쓰이지 않은 듯해요. 구글 검색해서 나온 이미지에 딸린 내용설명을 살펴보시면 그 두건들은 하나같이 17세기 이전(잘하면 17세기 초까지)의 두건들입니다. 참고로 이 소설의 배경은 19세기 말이거든요. 그렇기에 저는 두건이란 단정은 맞지 않아 보입니다. 그래서 윗분이 말씀하신 머리스타일이 문맥적으로 맞다고 가정하고, 그 머리스타일이 이 문맥에서 본인의 머리스타일이라고 보는지, 아니면 가발의 스타일이라고 보는지 그것이 궁금해서 질문한 거였어요. 그런데 지금 다시 보니 이미 위엣 분은 그 가발의 헤어스타일을 말한 것이었네요. 시기만 중세이면 저도 고민없이 두건 쪽이 맞다고 봤을텐데....지금은 제가 좀 더 고민을 해봐야할 것 같네요. :) 어쨌든 지나가다 관심가져주시고 충분히 의미있는 발자취 남겨주셔서 감사합니다.

@jimpjorps One more thing. Is there any possibility for the coif here to be the attached close-fitting cap in your opinion? (To be honest, since the coif has been historically used until 17th but this novel is based upon 19th century victorian era so I think the coif is more like a hairstyle as you said rather than the attached fitting cap.)

@gadgeteer 아, 그 인용문이 19세기 말 소설에서 나온 것이군요. gadgeteer님이 분석하신 대로라면 저도 gadgeteer과 똑같은 의문이 들 것 같습니다. 제가 영미문학/문화 전공자가 아니라서 피상적인 답변을 드렸던 거 죄송합니다. 덕분에 coif에 대한 약간의 지식을 갖게 되었습니다. I hope someone will leave a clear-cut answer here, helping you hit the nail on the head.
