Large Hood

This hood comes with a large mantle to cover the shoulders

Button up although could take it on and off fully buttoned should you wish

Cotton lined 

 

A very warm spacious hood

This hood was donated by a friend downsizing their kit.

Lightweight Hood

 This hood and mantle is made of a lightweight fabric and very lightweight.

Good summer costume

Ideal fantasy costume, with a simple single button to hold it together at the front.

Wrap Around Hood

This green hood features a unique feature

The long scarf that forms part of the hood. 

This feature makes it very versatile to create a couple of different looks, such as wrapping it around the neck and down your back or just down the front.

Originally from chows emporium, no longer on the website, although an upgraded better-looking version is.

Red & Black Leather Hood

 This hood was donated to an evergrowing bag of hoods 

Red and Black ideal for the evil jester in you

Typical of many hoods made for the fantasy market, it includes lots of decorative buckles and metal studs.

Black Hood

 Black hood with large mantle

I would like to say more, but see previous posts about hoods.

Black and White Hood

 Another hood, this one is made of thin cotton fabric and sewn in separate panels of black and white fabric.

The mantle that covers shoulders has the colour reversed, which gives a pleasant look.

The fabric really makes this more a fancy dress costume item than a historical reproduction or useful hood.

Green Hood

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.

Hooded Man

The hood is a soft covering of the head that covers all sides, even the face sometimes and goes around the neck.

They commonly form part the garments often attached to a cloak or coat, they are designed to keep your head warm and dry, they can be easily pulled back and not lost like a hat might.

 In the Picture above we have the 4 Dwarves Wappy, Cappy, Dappy and Zappy.

 Commonly made of wool, this Hood however is made some lightweight hemp like fabric, so not that warm and certainly not water resistant, its therefore more of theatre piece than a practical hood

This is a typical medieval style hood, independent of any garment, it as one button at the front which keeps it tighter around the neck and wide base (Mantle) covering the shoulders.

 Hoods covering the sides of the face don't make it easy to see the axe coming towards your head but the do hide the face, so ideal criminal headgear.
