I do like a hood with ears and this has some beautiful detail around the seams. I also love the slightly floppy ears - like a x-breed kelpy. This hat is a small feature in the Fable of the Mouth of Truth by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1534). The original is in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum but to make it easier on us, they have released a lovely high resolution image to Wikimedia here. The figure himself a an disguised as a 'Fool'. I'd happily be considered foolish and wear this amazing hood around at cold events if I could figure out how to make the ears stay up.
