he wore a green feathered hat
Robin Hood has been glamorized as wearing a green feathered hat. However, the true Robin Hood wore a head cover similar to that of a chain-mail head cover. Robin's head cover was dyed a dark green using berries and herbs ground up to a pulp and then rubbed into the cover to change it's colour.
Robin Hood's vest was made of stag hid but was not actually dyed green as the head cover. Shirts and pants were made of different material but normally of a poor quality cotton. His boots were made of hid as all boots were at the time.
The "feathered hat" was started after a maiden saw Robin Hood crossing a field to a creek. The feather she saw was actually that from his arrows which appeared to be sticking out of his cap due to the angle she was at when she saw him.

At the time that the story historically takes place, conscripted soldiers were made either infantrymen or bowmen.

Additionally, bowmen needed less armor and were cheaper to field than infantry.
In all likelihood, since Robin came more a rural region, he would have been more than proficient with a bow and made a bowman when conscripted.

The earliest Robin Hood ballads place him in Yorkshire and associate him with a King Edward, who takes him into the royal service.
