Late Roman hood
Late Roman hood
Based on the pictorial and archeological sources of 3rd-6th centuries, this hood is with long pelerine is a simple but very useful part of the costume. Made of our natural dyed by buckthorn's bark medium weight twill wool.
The hood is an indispensable part of the European costume wardrobe from the time of late antiquity until the end of the Middle Ages. It protects the head from wind, rain or scorching sun, and sometimes allowed the wearer to keep incognito without restricting movement. This piece of clothing evolved from the simple, loose form of the barbarian hood to the complex, intricate forms of the late Middle Ages, but its essence remained the same. We recreate hoodies from various eras with attention to detail, selecting the best materials and historical colors to create convincing historical impression.
