cloak

A one-piece enveloping garment worn on the shoulders, tied or clasped at the neck or chest, and reaching the knees or ankles. A cloak is generally longer than a cape, which is usually elbow- or hip-length. It often has slits cut into the front of the fabric for arms. Cloaks were popular during the late 19th century and again in the 1960s.
