I think cloak options need to be better in general, shoulder slung cloaks would be a great addition, so would hooded cloaks like classic RPG thief cloaks.
They’re just capes. It was a cavalier thing to wear clothing “wrong”. Kind of like modern baseball caps. Another thing they did was to wear hoods backwards so you have the face hole around your neck and the neck hole around your face, with the dagging that’s supposed to be hanging from your shoulders falling around your face. Or they’d take the liripipe (the hoods with the long tail) and wrap it on top of their head, turning the “hood” into a hat.
They should just allow it as an optional way to wear any short cape in game. you could also wear it sideways UNDER the arm if you want to keep both arms free for using a weapon. It would be easier to animate, as well.
