A hood that sticks waaaaay out

MeFites, I want a coat with a hood that has (faux) fur trim that I can roll out so it sticks out far past my face to block the sun. From the side, it looks like a periscope. I have seen people wearing such coats (e.g., a men's Canada Goose parka, except that's animal fur). How do I search for this type of hood? Does it have a name? [more inside]

Baa baa, black sheep have you any, wait, what is it that I need?

I'm making a winter coat. The instructions for the pattern I found online say to use a "double sided winter coating" and not to use a lining. [more inside]

Please fix this bear's coat. Thank you.

The leather-thing holding it on snapped and one of the toggles has come off my duffle-coat. I have the toggle itself, and I have acquired some spare leather-things, but I'm not sure of the best way to re-attach. I don't have a sewing machine, and I don't think I know anyone who does. I have discovered that a thing called 'Fabric glue' exists, but is it any better than superglue? Will superglue work on wool/leather? I could put a few hand-stitches, but the thickness of both bits of material make me think that I might not be able to do a very good job. [more inside]
