 Some early period "[[rectangular cloak]]s" are basically draped blankets and can be made with no sewing. Also [[poncho]]-like cloaks, requiring little sewing, were worn, chiefly by women at this time.

Cloaks come in several varieties. They keep the rain off, and in period have detached hoods more often than not. Cloaks provide some protection form the cold, however an extra undertunic (thermals suffice until you can make enough) is often warmer, as cloaks blow open. Some tabards and surcoats (especially fur lined ones) are also good garments to wear for warmth. Cloaks are, however wonders in the rain, as a good wool cloak, even without waterproofing, can take a long time to soak through, and can be easily discarded when you go indoors.

Cloaks can also be used as picnic blankets, bedrolls and full circle cloaks can be large enough to shelter a friend too.
