Skjoldehamn hood + bag set

Skjoldehamn hood, based on the 11th century finding from Norway, is a si;ple but very useful garment, which we recreated with hand woven and natural dyed heavy weight 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 images.
