How to tuck a motorcycle jacket hood out of the wind

Finally, I found an answer to what to do about my riding jacket.

 The new red jacket I got for riding my Royal Enfield Bullet in 2021 has served me well, with one exception: it has a hood. 

Although useful when I'm not riding, the hood has the unfortunate determination to balloon out behind my helmet at speed, like a drag chute. 

My 1999 iron barrel Royal Enfield doesn't need a drag chute. It's slow enough already. My previous (yellow) jacket had a hood but that hood folded neatly into the jacket collar. My new red jacket doesn't have this feature. 

I'm not a fan of wearing the hood inside my helmet. I don't mind wearing a helmet, but helmet plus earplugs plus hood would be too much. I'd hate to have to hack the hood off a new jacket with scissors.

But wait, what's this? The new red hood has a Velcro strap on the top of the hood. Never seen anything like it. It must do something.

Velcro tab wraps into and around fabric hook in jacket.

With a little experimenting I found that if I folded the hood just right the Velcro strap could be tucked into and around the fabric hook inside the neckline. This effectively turned the hood itself into a collar.

Tested at 1999 Royal Enfield speed, the hood stayed nicely tucked and out of the slipstream.

Did Lands End intend the jacket to work like this? If not, I still don't know what other purpose the Velcro strap could have served.

Clothing rarely comes with an instruction manual. Maybe it should, at least for guys like me.
