Red Panelled Waistcoat & White Scarf Hood LARP Set, 2 Pieces
- In stock, ready to ship
A two-tone set: a red panelled waistcoat worn under a white scarf hood. The two colours are the point. The white hood frames the face and lifts the red, so the look reads cleric or battle-mage rather than a single block of colour.
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 white 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. The weight sits evenly front to back, so it holds its shape over a long day.
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.
The white hood is doing a specific job. A pale hood frames the face and throws the red forward, so the set reads as a considered two-tone rather than a costume that ran out of one colour. It is the cleric and battle-mage look: light at the head, strong colour on the body. If you already own the red waistcoat, the white hood is the cheaper half that changes how the whole thing reads.
Why it costs what it does
You are paying for two 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. The hood has the length in its wraparound to cover the face and still sit flat at the back, and it is weighted so it stays put instead of needing a tug every ten minutes.
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, while the white hood can be machine washed cold, which is worth knowing since a pale hood shows marks sooner than the red does.
Who this set is for
- Clerics, healers and battle-mages who want light at the head and strong colour on the body.
- Anyone who wants a two-tone look rather than a single block of one colour.
- Owners of the red waistcoat who want to change the read with a pale hood.
- Warriors and casters layering over or under armour, where the wide armholes matter.
- Long days and warm halls, where the lighter cut and the even-weighted hood earn their place.
