This is the one that made me think of lined veils many years ago, from Vagnhärad in Sweden.

As you can see it is made from a white fabric with gold stripes, and lined with red. It is locally made c 1300.

Then there's the treasure trove that is MS K26 at St.John's College, Cambridge - lots of lined veils there.
