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]].

== Acquisition ==
Hoods can only be made at [[Electric tailor bench|electric]] or [[hand tailor bench]]es which require [[Research#Complex clothing|Complex Clothing]] to be researched in order to be constructed. Each hood requires {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work. 

They can also be purchased from [[trader]]s, and a red hood can be found on every [[Empire#Bestower|Bestower]].{{RoyaltyIcon}}

== Summary ==
{{See also|Social Impact}}
{{Apparel Social Impact Note|20}}

== Analysis ==
Without the [[Royalty DLC]], hoods offer the highest boost to Social Impact. The actual value of Social Impact is limited. The most practical purposes of the hood is to boost the quality of [[ritual]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}. It does not have an impact on trade prices.

Hoods are are inferior to almost every other type of headgear for any other purpose. [[Bowler hat]]s are cheaper, have the same physical protection, same cold insulation, and better heat insulation. For combat, hoods should be switched for a helmet unless you have no other alternative. If only fabrics are available and the [[Ideology DLC]] is installed, then [[broadwrap]]s are cheaper and offer more physical protection (though they can't use leather). If no DLC is available, then bowler hats are cheaper for the same protection.

With the Royalty DLC, the hood has several competitors with the same Social Impact stat. The [[top hat|top]] and [[ladies hat]] are mostly identical, with the same social impact and same cost. The key differences are:
# That the hood only requires [[Research#Complex clothing|Complex Clothing]] to be researched, not [[Research#Noble apparel|Noble Apparel]].
# That the hood can't be used for nobles
# That the hood is unisex, and doesn't give either gender a mood debuff
# That the hood has the exact inverse insulation, offering better heat while the hats offer better cold. 
The hood also offers some amount of physical protection, but for the reasons stated above, it does not have a big impact. If you require the hats for your nobles anyway, then you might as well use them. Otherwise, unless cold insulation is likely to be relevant, then the hood is superior.

==Trivia==
This is one of very few items to transition between DLC and Core, originally being introduced as part of the [[Royalty DLC]] but later being integrated into the base game. The [[techprint]] is the only other known example, but it did the reverse.
