Red Panelled Waistcoat & Hood LARP Set, 2 Pieces (Waistcoat & Scarf Hood)
- In stock, ready to ship
A two-piece red set: a panelled sleeveless waistcoat and a matching wraparound scarf hood, cut from the same distressed red cotton blend so the two read as one layer rather than two bought on different days. The waistcoat sets the silhouette, the hood covers the head, shoulders or face.
Designed by Chow, made to her specifications since 1994.

What the set gives you
- The red panelled waistcoat, cut with flowing panels, broad shoulders and wide armholes so it moves with you and layers over or under armour.
- The red medieval scarf hood, with long wraparound ends. Wear it down as a hood, round the shoulders as a cowl, tucked as a snood, or wrapped up over the face for a rogue or necromancer look.
The waistcoat is the newer thinner cut, so it runs cooler for indoor events and long days than the heavier panelled versions. The panels fall from a high shoulder line, which is what gives the movement when you turn or reach rather than the fabric pulling flat across the back.
Buying the two as a set means the reds match. Cotton blend takes dye in small batches, so a waistcoat and hood ordered months apart can sit slightly off each other in daylight. These two are cut to go together, and the hood picks up the same distressed patterning as the panels, so worn up it reads as part of the waistcoat rather than an add-on.
Why it costs what it does
You are paying for two coordinated pieces built to Chow's pattern, not a printed panel on a thin shell. The waistcoat carries real panelled construction, a shaped shoulder and armholes wide enough to work over a gambeson, and the hood has enough length in the wraparound to actually cover the face and still sit flat at the back. The cheap version of this look is a tabard tacked to a separate snood that never quite matches.
It is worth being straight about what it does not do. The hood resists light rain and cuts wind, but neither piece is waterproof. The two also wash differently: the waistcoat is dry clean only, so it does not go in the machine with the rest of your kit.
Who this set is for
- Mages, sorcerers and wizards who want a full red layer that reads caster from across a field.
- Warriors layering over or under armour, where the wide armholes matter.
- Necromancer and darker characters who wear the hood up and wrapped over the face.
- Anyone building a red kit who wants the waistcoat and hood to match rather than gambling on two separate orders.
- Warm-hall and summer events, where the lighter cut is the point.
