>>1766121>poncho vs cloakThere are many types of these things out there anon if you search for them. Many military "ponchos" are actually cloaks that DO open in the front.
If you want something more traditional, there are many styles of wool cloaks you can buy, just understand one of the reasons ppl don't bother with them is because of jaggers, thorns, briars, and burrs. They do accumulate these things quickly.
