Hi,

Here is a sentence that puzzles me a little:

He bought a parka with a hood that rolled up in the collar.


What precisely does the fragment in bold font mean? That the hood can be turned into the collar by rolling up?

Generally, the hood is rolled neatly into a cylinder and then can be pushed into a zippered pocket on the back face of the collar.
