The hood is a clothing item initially added in the Royalty DLC but now part of RimWorld core. They provide a +20% increase to Social Impact.

Nobles between Squire and Praetor rank require either one of these or one of the other alternatives, to consider themselves properly dressed and avoid a negative moodlet. The Male specific equivalent is the Top hat . The Female specific equivalent is the Ladies hat .

Acquisition

Hoods can only be made at electric or hand tailor benches which require Complex Clothing to be researched in order to be constructed. Each hood requires 50 Stuff (Fabric/Leathery) and 6,000 ticks (1.67 mins) of work.

They can also be purchased from traders, and a red hood can be found on every Bestower.

Summary

Analysis

While offering an even larger social impact boost than the Bowler hat's 15%, hoods cost more, provide no armor, and offer inferior cold resistance and HP. Thus they are inferior to, should be exchanged for, literally any other headgear unless required by a noble or the social impact buff is required. The hood should never be worn when protection is required - they can be worn in non-combat situations, and switched for a helmet on the battlefield

Notable as the unisex option of headwear for nobles up to the rank of Praetor, and only requiring Complex Clothing to be researched, not Noble Apparel. These two factors can make it a superior option to the Top Hat and Ladies Hat for noble titled pawns for several reasons. First it allows headwear to more easily be handed down as pawns advance through ranks without concern for gender. Second, it allows easier and cheaper automation of worn-clothes replacement, as only one type needs to be kept in inventory. Lastly it allows Noble Apparel research to be delayed or, depending on how the other clothes requirements are met, potentially even skipped. It also has a different insulation profile - offering superior heat insulation and inferior cold resistance to the gendered hats. Though a small bonus, this can also be relevant in chosing which to use.

The hood is also noteworthy as a headwear providing some temperature insulation, but no physical protection. As it is also slave suppression neutral, this can make it an attractive option for slave use.
