Gugel with Collar and Long, Thin Hood and Button Tab, Hood with a Trailing Point, red
This women's cowl is available in one size that fits most adult women's heads. It is fully lined on the inside and looks good even when worn without a hood or with a few buttons undone.
This cowl is a reconstruction based on French and English medieval paintings and archaeological finds from 15th-century London, when tight-fitting buttoned cowls were common among various social groups, from villagers and townspeople to the nobility. Although they were primarily garments for women, they were occasionally worn by men as well. Wearing a cowl that covered the hair was the standard for women's clothing at the time and had its own social significance. Removing the hood from a respectable woman's head in public was considered a serious insult and could escalate into a street fight.
The gugel is made from 100% wool. It is a very durable material that can resist dirt better than cotton. If you decide to wash the wool, wash it in cold water and only with clothes of approximately the same colour in case some of the clothes rub off. Do not tumble dry. Do not tumble dry them. If necessary, iron on a low setting.
