Cloaks
Planning and cutting
Measure the required length for the cloak from the back neck. This measurement is the only one needed, and it can be adjusted to fit the cloth. For outdoor wear, make surę it is well elear of the ground. A good firm cloth needs no hem allowance as the curved edge can be left raw.
Lay out the unfolded cloth - the floor may be better than a table for this. Using tape measure and pins, mark the shape on the cloth. Chalk a finał outline before cutting. Cut the lining like the outer layer.
Fig 3 shows a half-circle cloak, with a pieced hem for a cloak wider than the cloth. Fig 4 shows various neck styles.
Use the same planning method for larger cloaks.
For a three-quarter circle cloak plan a half-circle, as for Fig 3, and add two gores at the front, starting from the neck cut-out. Sew the gores with their bias edges to the se!vedges of the cloak.
For a fuli circle cloak, cut two half-circles with a join at the centre back. If your materiał has firm woven selvedges these can be oversewn together to make the back seam (Methods, Fig 1). Make the radius of the neck cut-out about 10 cm.
Letters indicate joining points.

Cloaks and mantles
The distinction between the two appears to be one of status. Mantles seem to have been largely worn for display, while cloaks were worn for protection, though not often illustrated.
The cloak was the commonest form of protection, used by all classes throughout the medieval period. By 1200 it was generally cut as a circle, but its size depended on the wearer's wealth or rank. A half-circle (Fig 3) was quite adeąuate for protection from the weather, but those in Figs 1 & 2 are ceremoniał and therefore larger: common travellers' cloaks are rarely illustrated.
Neck finishes of cloaks can be difficult to make out in illustrations, and in some the neckline is simply hollowed out to fit round the shoulders (Fig 2). Where the hood is shown round the neck (Fig 1; Gowns, Fig 1) it is impossible to tell if this is separate, or part of the cloak. Some neck finishes and fastenings are shown in Fig 4.
Materials
Use a densely-woven wool cloth or Melton for protection from the wind and rain. For a ceremoniał garment use lighter, finer cloth.
All were normally lined: use loosely-woven wool for warmth. For a grand mantle use fur or silk, which will look impressive.

Ceremoniał mantle worn by ladies from the late 13th century on. Corners on the front neck edges support the two brooch-like bosses, whose shanks are pushed through eyelets and the elaborate cord is threaded through the shanks. (Brass to Isabel Manfield, spinster, Taplow church, Buckinghamshire).
