A very interesting look at the medieval hood

I have a Nepalese wool jacket with a hood and embroidered dragons. The hood is quite large and pointed, and great for hiding in when it’s windy. B/c so vasty, I usually fold over the edge to where it reaches the cotton lining, which makes it work for my little face. When it’s really cold and I need to hide from it, I unfold the hood’s edge.

I usually also pull on the pointed end to make it stand up, and man, do I ever look weird - and I’m warm.
