Markus Open Medieval Hood

This Gugel is made of sturdy canvas and is very comfortable in fit. The head part is wide cut and has a front tie closure. It is based on early medieval examples.
The most distinctive feature shared by all types of gugels is that they were designed to cover both the head and the shoulders.
The Vikings were the first verifiably known to have worn this particular type of hood. By the High Middle Ages, it had become an integral part of the everyday dress of commoners and was worn by peasants, craftsmen, wayfarers and the like. The 14th century brought some alterations to the gugel's design, which gained a tighter fit and was often adorned with ornate trim. But by the early 16th century, it had fallen out of fashion and was rarely worn.
