Lynne, I am in totally shocking, (Please pardon my grammar, I am deaf) I didn't know that low class commoners' "half hoodie" become chaperone for high class noble. I had thought about buying chaperone someday for my fun wearing it. I am so happy that you showing us how to do that as it seem so easy to fancy hoodie up into hat. I am still speechless. Thank you so much.
This is so cool! Thank you for showing how to turn a hood into the chaperon! I went and tried it immediately but I usually do 12th century reenactment so my hood for that doesn't turn into a chaperon very well, haha! Oh no, I'll just have to make another, fancier hood :D
Have made a lined hood with liripipe, I can honestly say it was harder than I thought. I have made a chaperone too. However I am curious about what was used inside the rounded "poofy" part?
Originally, they would roll the face edge of their hood and wear it as a hat, which created the rounded "poofy" part. Later, as the padded circular bourrelet (or rondel) evolved, the padding was filled with something else. As for what that padding was... One website that I found says that the padding was from the hair of dead women. www.articulatetree.com/historical-clothing/chaperon-headroll This pdf has lots of information: citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.604.8427&rep=rep1&type=pdf

If you don't mind me asking where did you get that very nice black one.
A chaperon can be purchased from Historic Enterprises: historicenterprises.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=99_118&products_id=1069
Would have been neat to see this paired with houppelande information.
Maybe for a future video?
