I found this out yesterday while playing on Xbox, so I guess this is Xbox confirmed. Many of you will have heard of the armour stacking glitch involving a jail, container and lock pick (for I cannot do the werewolf method to save my life); if you have, skip the next paragraph. I may have found a way to possibly wear unique hoods that are only usable with hooded robes.
To do this, you must have the apparel pieces you want, and they must be unique (i.e. you can't wear two iron chestplates, but you can if both are enchanted (differently?)). Find a container near the exit of a jail's escape route (I'll use the Dragonreach Dungeon as an example) and equip one set of apparel (i.e. chest, head, boots, etc.) and store the rest in the container. Get arrested, and break out of jail. De-equip the ragged robes (for convenience) and equip another set from the container. Get arrested again (which removes what you're wearing), and rinse and repeat until the container is empty. When you serve your time, all of the armour you had confiscated will be equipped. Instead of a container, a follower told to wait can work.
What I found is that if you equip a hooded robe the first time, then the second time equip a chest piece without a helmet, the armour will be present and replace the chest piece of the robes, leaving the hood. I have confirmed this works with iron armour and the Thalmor hooded robes. Sorry I don't have any screenshots, will get some up soon.
[EDIT: Reloading saves seems to mess this up slightly, but both items will stay equipped and when you reload a new save the armour will be visible over the robes again. This problem repeats for each time you reload a save.]
