This listing is for a modern fullsize/ shape reproduction British style PH Gas Hood (similar to ones worn at the Battle of Loos in 1915). It would be suitable for museum displays,battle re-enactments, murder mystery events, stage work (eg Oh what a lovelly war/ All quiet on the Western Front), fancy dress or just to look sinister! It is replicated from what I believe to be an actual WW1 PH gas hood so is the same size, shape etc. See the 3rd photo of the reproduction hood on the left compared to the rather faded real hood on the right. The same style of hood s are on display in the 'Passendaele Museum' and 'In Flanders Mu seum' in Belgium. The PH Gas Hood is made from a light blue / grey coloured cotton fabric. Inside the hood is an ivory coloured cotton liner like the real ones - so 4 layers of fabric in total. It has 2 eye pieces (made from plastic and made to look metalic) and a black valve flapper with metal clip and a plastic fitting. It is almost identical in appearance to the original gas hoods. There are other PH hoods available with metal eye pieces but they are much more expensive. Please bear this in mind when buying this one.The hood has not been soaked in any anti-gas chemicals so is safe to wear. This PH Gas Hood will offer the wearer no protection at all so is unsuitable for use against gas, smoke, dust or anything
