Double Hood
Description
Double Hoods are $325, shipping now in all colors except Drab Green
Previous orders for both an All-Around Jackets and Double Hood will be filled at the same time unless you ask us to ship the Hood now.
We won't have Drab Fabric to work with until mid-2025 at the earliest.
The Double Hood can be secured to any of several of our Jackets by means of Slot Buttons on the collar of the Jacket. But it is only the All-Around Jacket that is made by us with the buttons to affix the Double Hood. The Double Hood is a bit much for the other pieces, but some people have attached it, and it's not a big deal to have a local tailor sew on some standard four-hole buttons, post-production.
The Double Hood was originally designed to attach to the All-Around Jacket ... and if you want a Hood to go with your AAJ, we recommend ordering at the same time. The Double Hood can also be attached to anything with a couple of big safety pins. You can add buttons after testing. The Double Hood doesn't really need much of any kind of attachment to just sit on the shoulders and provide tremendous protection to the head.
The WeatherWool Double Hood is seriously warm! Made with two layers of our own FullWeight Merino Jacquard Fabric, the Double Hood resists extreme snow, sleet, rain, water and wind.
The chin strap is adjustable and the cinch cords are double-anchored. The chin strap can snug the Hood to three different head sizes. The All-Around Jacket has three buttons under the fold of the collar. The Double Hood has corresponding buttonholes.
Left down on the shoulders, the Double Hood adds a lot of extra protection to the shoulders and top of the back. Advisor Jim Olson tells me this is a routine use for him.
The Hood is large and the flaps fasten in the front, just under the chin. There are draw cords at the sides that can pull the Hood "down and in", closer to the head.
Anything short of really insane weather doesn't penetrate it.

Features
Our Fabric
Our 100% American, 100% Wool Fabrics, made from 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool, are the foundation of our company. Making our own Fabric is time-consuming, difficult and expensive. But for us, there is no other way.
FAQ
Where is it made?
All of our products are 100% made in the USA using 100% American-made wool and materials. We pay American citizens to make all of our garments. See more.
Is WeatherWool in retail stores?
No, it is only available directly through this Website.
What are your garments designed for?
We set out to make the best All-Purpose outerwear possible and we take that "ALL" part seriously. While some items may be better then others for specific needs we like to think we have the perfect garment for anything you do outside regardless if it is in the serving in military, hunting, camping, city, country, work or worship.
Why is it so expensive?
We never cut a single corner at any step. We make our own fabric, from the best wool in the USA. There are over 45 steps in making our fabric alone. We use the highest quality materials made in the USA. We have owner operated customer service on call to serve you and offer free shipping in USA and Canada as well as hassle free returns.
Is WeatherWool Merino Wool?
Not exactly. Merino is great wool and has been very well marketed over the years but pure merino alone is not actually suitable for us.
We select our wool based on a number of characteristics including micron, strength, length, and comfort factor. With the help of our advisor Bob Padula we have determined the perfect recipe for our goals. Thanks to modern equipment we can test all the wool before we buy it and that wool is primarily coming from Rambouillet and Targhee breeds.
How do you clean WeatherWool
Short answer, you almost never need to. It's self cleaning. We've had garments we've worn for 7 years that have never been cleaned other then some rain.
However, things happen. If a lukewarm bath and dry flat doesn't do the trick, you can try wool-cleaner. Our full cleaning page is here.
Can bugs bite through your fabric?
We have not heard of any that can.
What is your customer service policy?
Our customers will be taken care of.
Full Customer Service policy can be found here.

About us
Founders / Owners
WeatherWool was founded in 2009 by Ralph and Debby DiMeo. Together with their children and a few friends they maintain 100% ownership of the company. Their full story can be read here.
Direct Connection To The Source
We make our own Fabric, starting with raw wool carefully and specifically selected from a small group of ranches in the USA that meet our certification standards. This isn't no stock photo. We're actually out there during shearing sampling wool and sharing stoies and good times with the ranchers and their families.
The Best We Can Figure Out
While most companies decide a price point, and reverse engineer a garment to meet that retail price, WeatherWool does the opposite. We make the best garment we can figure out how to make at every decision we face.Although our garments seem pricey to some our profit margins are below average and you're getting more value for your money and assurance that you're getting some of the best wool in the world.
Customer Reviews
The quality is exceptional
Definitely a worthwhile investment/ addition to the AAJ. Some serious, heavy, functional headgear. Comfortable on my beautiful bald head. Being a double thickness, it takes more tugging on draw cords to wrestle into a desired amount of coverage than the "Grim Reaper" hoods found on the Anorak, however the result is truly absolute warmth and protection. If you're getting the AAJ, seriously consider getting this hood.
I initially wore my Double Hood with its concomitant All Around Jacket, however more and more I've come to wearing it without the jacket simply for it's use and versatility. Some days don't necessarily require the layers of the All Around Jacket, but the Double Hood is just so handy and comfortable that I take it along on almost any outing.
Whether it's with my CPO or the ShirtJac, I put it on and it's instant warmth and protection from any inclement weather whatsoever. There is no other hood you will encounter that will come anywhere close to it's warmth and comfort, except, I imagine, WeatherWool's Mouton Hood (which I may end up getting in the future as well).
I am currently eagerly anticipating my Lynx pattern All Around Jacket with its Double Hood. WeatherWool's FullWeight is so comfortable I'd wear it year round if it weren't for the warmer temps in my region or having to do activity more suited to the MidWeight. Still, for a leisure day out in the elements, whether they be cold, rain, sleet, snow, and whatever else, the FullWeight is my first and only choice for protection and comfort that I can put on and readily enjoy the outdoors with no hesitation.
Ralph and the crew are small but mighty and capable. I can't wait for when my WeatherWool arrives, every time.

I bought the all-around jacket a while ago and placed an ASAP backorder order fo the double hood.
What a absolutely amazing hood. This is unlike any hood you have ever had. The strap and two buttons across the front replace any need for a scarf. The hood is so warm you don't really need any hat if you don't feel like wearing one, with so many adjustments, you can surely make it fit to your liking.
I was already blown away by the all around jacket and this double hood just puts it over the top.
WeatherWool is a top class company in my book, never been disappointed. If you have any of their jackets that are compatible with a double hood, I highly recommend it.
