For anyone interested in kicking things up on this style of hood, I dug into researching the original find for a project, and there are three things I rarely see people recreate that do really interesting things to the final result:
1) The over the head piece, instead of being a long rectangle with the center fold at the top of the head, was originally a square folded in half...with the edges of the fabric seamed to create the side and back of the hood and the face opening created by cutting a slit in the center fold of it and hemming the slit edges back. So strange, but does totally work.
2) Along the top edge are several extra rows of stitching that end up quilting together the top and stiffening it. This makes it so instead of flopping down over the curve of the head, it holds itself out and works really well as a brim to keep the rain and sun off.
3) The ties on the center of the hood's sides (placed right over the ears) let you either tie it closer around the chin to keep nice and cozy in the cold, or (my favorite) they can tie around the back of the head, and they actually serve to give the hood some shape and let it move with you when you turn your head.
Fascinating features, but also they add complexity, and it's lovely to have a super-simple pattern that just does what it needs to do. :)

My absolute favourite.
I have one in black, one in brown, one green and one in a gorgeous purple.

I’ve made a few of these & hand sewed one for the full history bounding experience.

I made five for my grandkids with little changes on each to differentiate them last year. The only costume piece that they have not yet outgrown for this year's events. Third generation!

I have made 3 so far, and absolutely love them. One is wool with a linen lining, very warm for when it is really cold, and the other 2 are made out of fleece. I know they didn't have fleece back then, but it is so easy to sew and also warm to wear. I wonder why they are not still worn, for they are so comfy!!! I think my neighbours think I joined a sect, wearing these with long tunics and chemises, but eh, I don't care. 😃 Much love to you! ❤Have a beautiful day, and thank you so much for teaching!

This is just SO simple, and SO useful, and so ripe for customization - thank you for sharing!!

awesome! and so easy! another option is to make the back square a little bigger if you need more shoulder room

Thanks! What a wonderful hood tutorial. Great way make good use of a small amount of fabric. I can’t wait to try this.

This is so awesome and you could wear it anytime when it's cold out

Machine embroidery! 🤯 Of course! I always learn something when I click on these videos.

Miss my hood from back home in Ireland. :( did living history from 2015-2019.

Hood! want. Want. WANT. 'cuz want be warm without having wear/carry coat/sweater. Thanks be for inspiring me. Cheers.

Thank you. This was exactly the tutorial I was looking for. Now I have plans to make one!

That is awesome love your choice of embroidery too. I have just finished 2 handsewn chemises and was trying to think of my next project when this popped up-so excited. I love that you gave an explanation on how to make it custom size. I will most likely embroider mine too. Thanks so much!!!!

I think I saw this wonderful hood at Ursalmas!

When the historically accurate project is motivated by an urge to play with one's newest machine. The outfit looks great on you

Excellent job! And a very clear, concise tutorial. Thank you!  🤘😎

I love the scenery, too!  It looks better (more Medieval) than Texas, for sure.

Love this hood. thank you for sharing.

I used the same company for manuscript embroidery patterns.  I love your hood.
