Best plus size medieval hooded cloaks

Top pick: Deluxe Renaissance Cloak with Hood and Clasp (LARP & Faire Wear) — the best all-round medieval look for a bigger frame: a generous, roomy cut that drapes rather than clings, a proper hood and a metal clasp, and it's the highest-rated of the bunch by a wide margin.

Who the others suit:

• Ranger Cloak – Waterproof Edition — outdoor faires and wet weather; waterproof shell with a warm faux-fur lining.
• Wool Hooded Cloak Hibernus — cold-weather LARP and history buffs; real wool, sold in several sizes.
• Viking Wool Cloak with Long Hood — a very wide wrap-style cloak that covers a lot of shoulder and body.
• Adult Velvet Hooded Cloak — a dressier, budget-friendly velvet cape for photos and indoor events.
• Aboser Hooded Cape — a lighter, arm-hole cape for warm days; runs small, so size up.

None of these list a dedicated plus-size range, so check each store's size chart and go by the shoulder-to-hem and width measurements.
