Hood
The medieval hood is a garment born out of practicality; cold weather-wear turned fashion item. The liripipe (the point at the back of the head) was extended until it reached outrageous proportions by the end of the 15th Century.

The edge of the gorget was often dagged, a term that means to shred. Wool was felted and then cut into shapes, sometimes extremely elaborate designs.
