BASIC MEDIEVAL HOOD

When you live as dangerously (and possibly illegally) as you do, it's important to have all the necessary protections on hand. A concealed knife to protect yourself is important, but if you had to give a young burglar any important advice, you'd tell him to hide his face with a good hood.

Your basic hood protects your identity from assassins and executioners with a hungry noose. As long as you're quick on your feet and take care of yourself, this is a piece of gear that can keep you a thief for a long time.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Basic Hood is a hood with a short cloak and a long hood tail. The cloak drapes over the shoulders, keeping the upper chest covered, while the roomy hood can be pulled down to cover part of the face. Made from medium canvas, this lightweight hood provides protection from the elements without being too warm from potential heat.

Wear this hood by simply slipping it over your head, it's easy and comfortable. Hoods are great pieces of clothing to round out your look, and the basic hood is a traditional cape that suits a wide variety of character types.

Available in Small/Medium and Large/X-Large sizes, and in Brown, Epic Black, and Green.

At EspadasYMás we have the best medieval recreation items, period clothing, caps, hats, masks, hoods and much more.
