Hooded Shirt


I can't see what practical purpose having a hood on your shirt offers, at most perhaps a bit of a sunshade.

So it's fashion, well you can be a judge of if this is a good look.


This shirt is handmade in Nepal using properly paid real 100% people.
(no people were harmed making this shirt, some may be harmed by looking at it)


Too young to be an original hippy and too old to be a new hippy, still a comfortable summer shirt that will get you noticed, if you want to be.

Hooded Cloak

A Cloak has been around since the times ancient Greeks and Romans and probably before that. 

It's a garment to wear over your normal garments that is easily added and removed as needed for weather protection, whether that be sun, rain, wind or cold.


They come in many varieties, some with hoods, some without, some down to ankles or some finishing just below at the knee, (any shorter and they become Capes)  they can be ornate, trimmed with fur or anything, they can ceremonial, give you invisibility, worn to the Opera but are usually just practical. They are usually lined, they don't have arms but may have slits for the arms to pass through. 

The only common thing is they fasten at the front at the neckline with a buckle, button, chain, broach or indeed any fastening that can hold the weight of the fabric on its own as its the only fastening.


This is a fantasy hooded cloak

Hooded Tunic


This is a hooded tunic made specifically for lrp use. 



Not based on anything historical, it is made of a wool mix with horn toggle closures.





















This item was purchased from Chows Emporium, where its described as a heathered woollen tunic hooded.


I've found this useful in all weathers, made of wool but lightweight enough for summer and can easily be worn over other items for colder weather use.
