Cloak: A cloak is an outer garment worn to keep the person warm during inclement weather. When utilitarian, they are also worn by the aristocracy as displays of wealth, for they are perfect garments to line with expensive and rare furs such as marten, ermine and sable. Fashion trends at court dictate the shape, which typically rotates between square and semicircular. They are usually fastened about the neck with an expensive brooch or a cord. They may also be constructed to fit over the head, although this style is usually reserved for the lower classes.
