Ray well seemd you are correct I have had 7 orders for the Keiger hood, 4 with 3 without the lacing so I offer a choice now. Thanks again for your input.

Bob & Ken,
Interesting to read about a hood design that fits all of the species Bob mentions. How about posting a photo on this thread of that hood. Would be interesting to see ( if you can ? ) what makes the hood so comfortable for each species.
Currently, I am waiting for a pattern that Jack Stoddart told me about. It is an Anglo-Indian style made from a formula derived by a friend of Jack's. A man named Hulsey Ferrill. Hulsey took measurements from two Anglo-Indian hoods that Jack had in the latter 1960s and from there he created a formula much like that of Slijpers formula. This hood is said to fit Prairie Falcons well. I am eager to stitch one up and see its finished shape.
