/* Hooded Cloak or Gaelic Coat */
|Literature =
* Al-Udhri, a Spanish Muslim Geographer in 1083AD states that the Irish, or possibly the Icelanders, like to wear expensive clothing, particularly hooded cloaks. [OWEN-CROCKER 2004: p.266]. We know about this account due to Qazwini quoting parts of Al-Udhri in his C13th work. [WAITE 2000: p.310].
* |Discussion =
Oxen-Crocker comments that the hooded-cloak may have been in use ‘for a long time’ by the Anglo-Saxons. She draws attention to images of beggars on the Harley psalter which appear to wear some sort of hooded garment. [OWEN-CROCKER 2004: p.264]
