It seems that medieval clothes can look extremely weird when mixed with mundane stuff. Oh well.

I made this hood from these instructions:
How to be a HOOD-lum: Medieval hoods
by Cynthia Virtue.

The hood is made from washable wool and lined with upholstery fabric. It is fairly heavy, quite warm, and the skirt is pretty stiff, so it doesn't drape neatly.
