I would like a garment where the hood extends from my face enough to blinker my peripheral vision, much like you would a horse in an overstimulating environment. It needs to be compatible with over ear noise canceling headphones. I'm a short woman who tends to fit in size large things. I'm thinking of something along the lines of a cloak, but a hoodie could work too.

This can either be a garment one can purchase or something one can make oneself, I can sew. My current shopping attempts for garments or patterns have been finding plenty of things with hoods but I'm not sure if the hoods will provide what I'm after.

Best answer: This might be too hot as-is and you might want to crib from the design to make your own, but I own this and hate it BECAUSE it cuts off too much peripheral vision. I keep it in the car in the emergency winter supplies, because that's probably a situation I want to go full-turtle in anyway.

Best answer: This Marcella hoodie has a really deep hood, and is a really flattering cut. It does tend to run long, so perhaps not the best for a short person though. I can vouch for fit and quality.

Your mention of cloaks reminds me of this cloak which does come in petite.

Best answer: Prairie Underground hoodies generally have a cloak-like hood like this. Another type/view on their site.

Best answer: Coming in late on purpose since this isn't purchasable yet:

Instagram user psycsensory is creating a hood for this exact purpose. There are a lot of different iterations with different features. I believe a professional sample is in the works. The goal is to manufacture them for sale.
