I've been googling about the tradition of "journeyman years" in Germanic countries in the modern era, and started thinking about the depiction of "winter clothes" in fantasy settings as a result. Very explicitly not invoking Game of Thrones because I'm sick to the gills of bad questions about it, I nonetheless noticed the preponderance of big, flowing travel cloaks in just about every "medieval" fantasy novel, film, show or artwork I can think of. In fact I have no idea what I might expect a traveler on the roads of Medieval Europe to have been wearing to keep off the cold!

I'm also, admittedly, woefully ignorant of just who might be travelling the roads of medieval Europe during winter! It seems reasonable to assume that a wealthy trader or noble might be relatively well rugged-up, while a destitute pilgrim would be travelling with whatever they could manage. But were there certain styles of "winter" clothing that would be particularly prominent on the roads in a medieval European winter?

Thanks! :)
