Hi, i didnt follow the thread, sorry.
Wich period is your cloak?
18th century cloaks are not lined. The one i made is angle lenght, cut after
a williamsburg cloak and has 2 collars on.
I close mine with tin hooks and eyes, 3 in all.
Its not lined, and originals wasnt either.

While I'm at it, does anyone have recommendations for what to line with?
I'm trying to decide between linen and light weight polar fleece. This is
blanket weight wool, so it will be plenty warm on its own. Has anyone
lined a winter cloak in linen? Fur's not really an option for me, so what
other historically accurate options do I have?

But I would like to make it even slightly stain resistant if possible?
The other thing I would suggest is to cut the length somewhere below the
knee, but well above the ankle, perhaps 10" up, somewhere around mid calf
or higher. This will keep your white wool off the ground and out of
reach of most mud and grass, splashed water, and such. Much easier to
keep clean if it's not in the muck in the first place. :)
