Cloak

A cloak or outer garment was worn over the top of the tunic. Both men and women wore an outer garment.
The cloak was usually made of heavier material than the tunic, and was held together around the waist with a belt made of cloth or leather.
People did not always wear a cloak. During manual labour it was easier to wear only a tunic.
