The reasons for introducing this long tail are not entirely clear and we can assume that it’s a simple, yet effective, item of the former fashion. A liripipe could be worn loosely on the back, wrapped around the head, or on the shoulder.
Still, a tail has some practical features. Wrapped around the head, it prevents the hood from slipping off, which is important for a knight or fighter. You can also easily transform a medieval hood into a fabulous chaperon.
