Cowls
A cowl is a very loose neck or hood on a piece of clothing. Christian monks often wear a belted robe-like garment
with a cowl. Use the word cowl for the hood on a long, wide-sleeved garment, or to refer to the garment itself. the
front of a cowl tends to be closed, rather than open like a cloak or a cape, and this was the reason cowls became
the formal wear for monks during the Middle Ages — the closed cowl was warmer. (Fig 4a & 4b)
