I've used the burnoose pattern--it works beautifully, if what you're
looking for is a burnoose (which I was!).

Hi Aylwen, since I draft most of my own patterns, I am always
looking to
other's yardage recommendations. I use the Internet for this all the
time.
Reconstructing History has a great spectrum of patterns to look at.
Here is a Man's "Musketeer Cloak"
http://tinyurl.com/24cgke
It recommends 5 yards. Used to be you could see the back of the
pattern
on
some of these sites....having a little difficulty at the moment
finding
one.
http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/patterns.htm
This one for instance has a mantle for which she recommends 2.5
yards at
45"
That is pretty skimpy.
I can't recommend the patterns themselves, as I've not used them,
but the
yardage requirements seem to work fairly well. I am sure if you
wrote
Kass,
she would tell you though.
Here is one for a Moroccan Bernoose. http://www.folkwear.com/

(Follow the link to the yardage requirement) It has a shorter
version
too.

Hi, I'm distant from my books and patterns right now and
need to work out the yardage required to make a full short
cloak out of narrow velveteen. What would you recommend? The
cloak needs to go to the hip on a med/large guy.
Many thanks, Aylwen
