The History of a Hood

   The history of a hoodie started in the medieval times and refers to a monk’s hooded cloak. Later hooded clothes were used in the wardrobe of European kings and queens, such as Tudor, until evolved to present-day hats. Don’t forget about Robin Hood, English people’s hero. Later, hoods made from white cotton fabric were used by secret organization to cover faces such as famous Ku Klux Klan. Today, hood is still used for secret purposes by some people – criminals may use hoods to cover their faces during robbery, for example. But majority of people admire hooded fleece sweater for its warmth, comfort, and easy fit. Finally, a simple hood gave a history to such famous head pieces such as balaclava, burqini, French hood, Gable hood, headscarf, and hijab.
   Because of the negative aura surrounding the hooded sweaters, several public places showed criticism towards wearing of the hoodie by their visitors. For example, it is not allowed to wear hooded clothes in some social places. The officers say that they cannot give safety for the rest of people. The criminals may hide their faces with the help of hood made from different fabric.
