Irish Leine (Shirt) PAY016 AlterYears PAY016 Irish Kinsale Cloak. Due to the wet climate of the country, the Irish have always worn cloaks of one sort or another. The fashion of a full-length collared cloak with or without a hood started in the early 18th century. By 1730 they were found all over Ireland. They have also been widely adopted by modern Renaissance and Medieval living history groups for their warmth and elegance. Originally constructed in red, blue green or gray wool, by the mid 1800's they were usually made of black wool. One size fits most.

Rocking Horse Farm 198: Cape/Cloak/Mantle

Rocking Horse Farm 198: Cape/Cloak/Mantle.

For centuries the cape/cloak/mantle was a simple circular or rectangular piece of fabric with a hole cut for the head. It was used for a blanket at night and a body covering by day, functional but not fashionable. Early capes/cloaks wrapped around the body for warmth and protection. The type of fabric used to make it was determined by the climate.

In the 16th cetury, cape/cloaks finally became a fashion of its own when they began being shaped, sewn and often lined. The 17th, 18th and 19th centuries saw voluminous cape/cloaks with 1 to 3 shoulder capes, collars, and made of rich fabrics. The plainer ones were worn for riding or traveling. For the rich and those with a sense of the dramatic, cloaks could be worn draped casually over one shoulder.
