If you can sew, a paenula is really pretty easy to make. There are different sorts of blankets and wide wool yard goods that can be a start. Lots of threads on RAT about color, length, and so forth.
The general shape of a hood is pretty standard, but it should not be one of the more modern "multi piece hoods" that are sometimes found on Ren cloaks. There is a good bit on Leg XX site about how-to concerning this:

If you are in a group of Roman reenactors, or there is a group nearby, check with them for color and weight of cloth before you buy anything. They may have exclusionary rules, like, say, "No Red", or "Only Camel color", or whatever. Better to fit in than argue.
