Can I suggest some description improvements for hoods. Right now we have them
differentiated with non-descriptive wording like basic and smooth

Firstly it might be beneficial to name these types of hood a Cloaked Hood as
they are primarily used in conjunction with capes and/or have a medieval robe
type look about them:-

 
Part No: 30381  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Hood
* 
30381 Minifigure, Headgear Hood
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear
 
Part No: 59276  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Hood Basic
* 
59276 Minifigure, Headgear Hood Basic
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear

To differentiate further I would add the wording 'Open Neck' and 'Closed
Neck' respectively though there is this one already in the catalog using
the term 'Open Front':-
 
Part No: 37340  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Hood, Open Front, Tied in Back
* 
37340 Minifigure, Headgear Hood, Open Front, Tied in Back
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear
This also works fine but then would a 'Closed Front' hood cause some
confusion compared to Closed Neck' but will leave catalog team to decide?

On the other hand these modern type hoods are better described from adding the
word Hoodie as they are primarily intended to represent a modern style hood attached
to a fleece/jacket:-

 
Part No: 74528  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Hood Basic Smooth
* 
74528 Minifigure, Headgear Hood Basic Smooth
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear
 
Part No: 30668pb02  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Hood Basic with Dark Brown Bangs Pattern
* 
30668pb02 Minifigure, Headgear Hood Basic with Dark Brown Bangs Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear
 
Part No: 30668pb01  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Hood Basic with Tan Bangs Pattern
*

I agree! You can try submitting change requests for all of the hood elements.
