From what I have seen in old books and movies folks in Europe are always depicted as wearing cloaks and some sort of hooded cowl akin to a monk's costume.
Any clues as to what folks back in olden times (or any time frame) wore in the outdoors as an outer garment? The only thing I can figure is that the cloaks must have been oversized to allow them to be wrapped around oneself to keep warm but I do not find any evidence about buttons? Every time you moved you were chilled down the front?
