Hi Steve,
Mine is based on a half circle design, closed down the front, with a hood. When the front area is pushed back over the shoulders the effect is to make it seem as if the front is much shorter than the the back, but that is in fact not the case. Views of the cloak can be seen on pictures of the Wall walk last September. When pushed back the cloak becomes easy to wear, and I don't suffer from over-heating. But there is enough material to keep me warm at night.
The cloak got quite a soaking today. The smell of wet wool is just so evocative...
