That's really cool. I like that it is seperate from any other clothing. We always see hooded cloaks in films. If the hood is attached to the cloak, then there will be a stitch line around the neck that thins the material there and helps water get in. With this hood, you actually get a double layer over your shoulder, and wool keeps you warm even when it's wet ! Did you follow a pattern to make this ! I'd love to have a bash at making one too.

[@lynxarmizare52]

Thanks! I had a pattern, but if you Google chaperone hood pattern you should be able to find one.

Entertaining presentation

[@martinwarner1178]

Excellent Sir. Thank you very much, now, I am tempted to make one.

[@lynxarmizare52]

They're super comfortable and practical!

[@thewhoppinator]

Well heck, that was a very enjoyable video, thanks for making this.

[@lynxarmizare52]

You're welcome

I have a couple good hoods, one Viking age style I made myself and one quite small later medeival style one I got second-hand, both are super practical garments especially this time of year. I'm now making myself one that I can wear both as a hood and as a chaperon, with a pretty long liripipe since I do like a bit of fancy in my clothing

Is this where the phrase "tuck tail and run" comes from? lol

[@lynxarmizare52]

That is entirely possible

@@lynxarmizare52 Cool video, I got me Boreal Mountain Loden Wool Anorak and I love it... but I've been looking for a waterproof cowl that could go on over it in really wet weather... It repels snow pretty well, but not wet slop or heavy rain... Been looking at leather Cowls... But, I would rather have something hardshell made of goretex or Event fabric... medieval wears made with modern fabrics... They make a waxed canvas anorak to go over the one I have... but its way too much... I've seen some cool leather cowls, but I would like like extra that escaped from a Shakespeare play...

@@jimvick8397 the Romans used a waxed wool hood and cloak when they came to Britain. The burka brittanica.

[@Poodleinacan]

Maybe one day I will own one.

[@lynxarmizare52]

Make one. If I can sew it, I figure pretty much anyone can.

[@lesmohr6289]

What if you had a rock in the end for some protection

[@lynxarmizare52]

Suppose you could do that. I suspect it would be far more of a hindrance than a help.

[@tuvoca825]

That long piece (tail) is probably to hold the hat on for horse riders.

[@cyndlehick9777]

You can tuck it into your belt too. It’s called a liripipe

[@CornerTalker]

Is there a pattern?

[@lynxarmizare52]

Indeed there is. Google "chaperone hood pattern."
