This hood was on its way from a friend to a car boot, but I decided to intercept it and put it to use in our crew kit.
A basic cotton hood with a long Lirpipe i,e the tail of hood seen from the back.
The Liripipe was popular in the late medieval period and could be wrapped around the neck like a scarf, however, most were a purely decorative element.
This hood also has a large mantle, this is the part covering the shoulders, this mantle comes down the well below the chest.
Another feature of this hood is the drawstring around the opening for the face, as far as I'm aware this is not a medieval feature, but certainly a useful one.
