"for the triangular of circular bracket of the button could go through a very small vertical slot cut in the material"
Of course, this would also allow for what I suggested to be possible, especially if the toggle on the other part of the cloak had a very short 'shank' of thread, meaning it could easily be located and pushed into position, either by feel from the outside or by reaching up to it on the inside.
As the sewn-up front of my own paenula tore open during a very windy training session at the weekend (after seventeen years of good service, mind you), I may have a go at testing the idea and seeing how workable it is. The small toggle illustrated a page or two back in this thread might be an ideal candidate for such a role I think.
I will report back here once I have tried it out, although that might be a few weeks away, as I have a funeral to sort out in the immediate future and so will be cutting back on making and experimenting with kit for a while.
