Hi all,
Someone has just asked me to make for him a costume from the Kingdom of heaven, the blue surcoat and the blue cape which Orlando B. is wearing. Here are some pictures, including one "replica" which is being sold by realarmourofgod.com.

The thing I can't figure out is the cloak or something Orlando has around the neck (first picture).
My guess is it is like the guys in the background on the 2nd picture, a
piece of fabric with a hole in it for the head. Hangs longer in the
back, comes down to the chest in front. It's draped differently on a few
people. Like a poncho.
On the third link there is a picture of some cape which looks it could be the "neck thing".
The brown thing around his neck is a cowl/hood. This one looks like it
is a circle with a hood attached to the center hole. The medieval
equivalent of a hoodie.
But I really don't know. What do you think? How would the pattern look
like to make such a shape?
Another question is the cape with sleeves (second and fourth link). It looks it has a large hood, but it isn't sure, and it seems that the hood and the body are from one piece
I doubt the hood was cut in one with the coat, there's almost certainly
a seam around the neck area.
You might be able to adapt something like Simplicity 9887.
