I am making a hooded cloak and was not sure if you sew the hood on the back neck line only or if you also sew it onto the sholders too.

Most Late Medieval cloaks weren't hooded, and hoods were a seperate item. Makes things much more flexible when you are layering clothing.

Actually, I can't recall seeing a "hooded cloak" in Medieval art, at least the era I study, at all.

If you would like to make one of these seperate hoods, that you can wear with a cloak or without, I am sure you can get help form those on the board who are knowledgeable.

A lot of the patterns out there are hooded. Can anyone recommend a decent pattern for a 15th century style without a hood? Would the cloth normally be wool or otherwise?

Thanks,
Scott
