Hi Jim and Judith,
I too remember well the use of hood for a bad guy. As a knitter and a 
lover of hooded sweatshirts and other hooded garments, I lament the 
association of evil-doers with these fine and cozy clothes. I'm sure 
that no self-respecting hoody would willingly participate in such 
dastardly deeds.
