Men's Medieval Hooded Cape Cloak Pattern

This pattern makes a medieval style hooded cape cloak for men, combining a full sweeping cape with an attached hood and a neck closure that keeps the garment secured at the throat. The shape draws on historical outerwear, falling loosely from the shoulders for a dramatic silhouette that works equally well for costume projects and for a statement winter layer.

Mid to heavyweight fabrics give the best results, with wool coating being a natural choice for warmth and body. Melton, boiled wool, heavy twill or sturdy linen all hold the cloak's drape, while a contrast lining adds weight and a finished look inside the hood. Wear it over winter clothing, at historical reenactments and fairs, for theatre and film costume, or as a cover-up on cold evenings outdoors.

Sizes run from XS to 3XL (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on A4 paper, and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
