Luckily, I'm putting a border of abut 12 inches of black(actually a
black and gray plaid) arould the front opening and base of the cloak
which will be a little more stain resistant. But I do plan to cut
it above the ankles. For the first time I'm going to photo document
the whole process, so I'll let you all know when I get pictures and
such up on a website. I haven't 100% decided yet, but I may hand
sew the thing, given the weight of the wool involved.
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?

The period solution would probably be silk.
