A sash, belt, or cord around the outside of the cloak (whichever kind, whichever era) adds tons to the warmth of the garment. I've found the best way to have that added is to hold your arms outstretched, and have somebody else tie the belt around. That leaves room for arm movement. It would make drawing a gladius harder, though.
