Fun!
I love the "baseball cap" reference: if memory serves caedmon's group up in AK has made the same connection.
(Also the cocks-comb look takes on a whole new dimension once you've been around roosters a while. )
Anyhow, I've been needing to make a proper weather hood at some point soon, probably deriving from the Skjoldehamn pattern.
Since it doesn't take a lot of fabric, I'm thinking of splurging on either strichloden or a tweed. Any suggestions/thoughts/advice on fabric choice?

I am constantly amazed at the ingenuity of man......so much of what was known has been lost. Thanks for sharing.
