==Mantles ==
A mantle is a cone shaped garment made from a circle of cloth with a hole in the centre for the head. It comes to about knee to mid-shin and was often belted to free the arms.

==Cloaks (women)==
A cloak is a rectangular woollen garment worn around the shoulders and fastened with either simple ties or a brooch.<br>

|Discussion=
Cloaks do not appear to be a garment worn by women, they are not seen in manuscripts. The manuscript immages appear to suggest the cloak was a male garement and women wore a mantle. Whether this is also the case in the lower ranks of society, where a mantle would be less practical in everyday life, is hard to say.

==Palla==
The Palla is a large headcovering, which also covers the shoulders and back and is fastened with a brooch at the neck. It is also listed under headcoverings, but is mentioned hear as it does look like a cloak that also covers the head.<br>

{{Evidence
 
|Art=
*[[T-M#T49|T49]]:15v shows a cloak like garment that seems to be pinned to front of the dress below the shoulder.
*[[T-M#T64|T64]]:f.57v the woman on the right seems to be wearing a short version on a mantle that is belted all the way around. Whether this is a poor version of a mantle or some other poncho style garment is not clear.
