The famous Tudor era French Hood is frequently misunderstood and a challenge for new and experienced costumers alike. Thankfully, we have the amazing, knowledgeable dress historian and historical costume maker Perin from Isabel Northwode Costumes to teach us all about them!
Join us for this special edition as she teaches us how these wonderful and mysterious garments developed from earlier medieval hoods, how they could have been made, and why they're a much easier costuming project than you might have thought - all by looking at new and exciting historical resources from Renaissance Scotland!
Dig out your silk velvet and your finest linen (or a tea towel) and get ready!

Just watched Samantha Bullat's vlog on her essays into the French hood, so of course, I was interested to see this pop up on Jimmy's channel! Your own research--especially into the Scottish royal wardrobe entries--is fascinating in what it contributes to knowledge of the components of the hood. The side-by-side visual from liripipe closed hood to open hood to early French hood was mind-opening, and really explained the flipping back to show the lining of the hood bit that, for me--having looked at and created a lot of Tudor costumes for madrigal dinners--is new information in understanding the French hood. Also, as others pointed out, it was a delight to watch your presentation and I hope you will be doing more vlogs in future.

That’s interesting. I meet a man who when he went to University to become a folklore scholar and when his teachers found out he was Mormon they encouraged him to specialize in Mormon folklore because there was not a lot of research on that group and they thought he would have better insight since it was his culture. He was resident at first because he didn’t want to be pigeonholed but also because he assumed that there was no folklore to study. But when he buckled down and started the research found out how wrong he was. He’s been studying it for over 30 years now and his teachers were right in that he had a better grasp of the folklore then an outsider would have. I really think it’s sad that your University wouldn’t encourage indigenous students to study their own people because “western civilization” has worked so hard to deny them their own history and culture. That’s just wrong. There is power in knowing who you are and where you come from. That being said I don’t think people should gatekeep people from studying people that they are interested in. That spark of interest is what keeps you going and it can happen when researching your own people or ones you have no blood ties to but just can’t stop learning about.

Thank you for sharing, this was very interesting and has now only sparked a desire in me to be able to delve even deeper. As a Flemish person, I notice there is so much about Flemish dress history that I don't have a clue about and that I don't find a lot of Dutch language sources on, online. Even the English to Dutch terminology (e.g. liripipe) requires quite a persistent google search to find, though many of the images you show are paintings by Flemish primitives and portray local people. This video made me contemplate also the history of different nun's headdresses and how they have evolved, since I've come across a few extreme looking, interesting, even futuristic shapes. I hope you make more videos about hoods! Greetings from Ireland

It depends on what era you're into, but there's a wonderful collection catalogue from the Morgan Library from a few years ago called 'Illuminating Fashion: Dress in the Art of France and the Netherlands, 1325-1515' that has a lot of commentary on dress terms and sources in those regions. I highly recommend it if you can find a copy. It's huge, and it wasn't cheap, but it was worth it imo!

Awesome information! I had just watched Samantha's video on the early French hood, so this dovetailed beautifully into that. Thank you for the sources, too! Awesome material for further research. I wonder how the "bonnet and frontlet" (AKA, gabled hood) fits into this evolution of the French and Flemish hood into the shaffron and hood. Thank you , Jimmy, for hosting this awesome video, and thank you, Perin, for making it!

@isabelnorthwode6717 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Anna! Perin here. The gabled hood and French hood develop concurrently and are to some extent a question of regional differences, but there's also evidence of them dovetailing. There's at least one entry for a 'frontlet for a hood' in the Scottish Treasurer's Accounts from the first decade of the sixteenth century (I say 'at least one' because the surviving accounts are extremely sparse for that period) - no further description on exactly what this looked like, unfortunately. The Scottish Book of Hours of James IV and Margaret Tudor was illuminated in Flanders, probably between 1503 and 1507, and mostly shows a frontlet and 'veil' style rather than a liripipe style, so this style would at least have been familiar in Scotland. And of course Margaret and the attendants she brought from England would have been familiar with English styles of hoods, and perhaps wearing them, when they arrived in Scotland in 1503. But then when Margaret goes back to visit England in 1516, she specifically wears the liripipe style! So I think all three main hood types are being transmitted back and forth consistently between different areas in this period, and they're all affecting how the others develop - none of them appears in isolation.

Thanks for posting Perin (and thanks for hosting, Jimmy)! This makes... so much more sense. I work in historical and fantastical historical dress and so I've seen some INTENSE builds of these and a lot of headscratching over geometry, vector of woosh, buckram vs. fosshape vs. plastic canvas... but like so much of 16th c. Western European dress it seems to come down to layers and strategic pinning! This makes me want to play around with some of these (seems a fun project to use spendy materials on since it's small), and maybe try starching or interlining with canvas to get more of that pronounced arch. Or even just the natural stiffening from multiple lines of embroidery or cord couching. Great work, great scholarship, really inspiring stuff! (Also is this the type of hood you see in the first half of the 16th c with the veils/liripipes pinned up in neat ways?)

Thank you! There are some images of people folding the end of the liripipe up on top of their heads, if that's what you mean! :) The two veils on the gable hoods are a bit more versatile in terms of how they can be worn.

Removing the anxiety before diving in is a good thing. And you managed it beautifully. Thank you, Perin!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I found you through Izabela Pitcher of Prior Attire. Now I feel like I could actually make this.

I love this so much! Between this and Samatha Bullat's video I'm really feeling the siren song of trying this myself, even though I have no real reason to have a French hood.

Thank you so much! This piece of garment has been a mystery to me until now.

Well now I'm so inspired to give this a go - and of course make a whole outfit to go with it. Thank you! I hope you make more videos in the future!
