Wool on the outside, and lined with ermine. This can be stylized with an ermine trim on the outside like the following image
The ermine can be worked out directly in substance. (NB: If it's to feature a fur effect, CK3 has very stylized hair and fur. See bellow).
Left is the mod, right is vanilla. Very stylized.
The wool material will be applied via masking. An edge can roughly follow the separation between wool and ermine, but the most important is the mask work (I will generate it), so it doesn't have to be very accurate since the trim is not going to be rectified in UV2 anyway.
The shoulders and cloak are then covered with a full ermine hood. It seems early hoods from 1100 were more likely to be closed. The splited ones seem to appear later, around 1300. We will go for a closed one so it fits a longer period.
Most of the hoods feature a "necklace" to hold them in place. These are very likely to be coronation outfit, and that in daily life, if the hermine hood was used, it was used without a necklace.
We'll go for a non necklace variant. A little bit of UV space should remain free so it's possible to stick about 3 necklaces in the corners and offer variants using only one texture set later in time. To allow this, the hood should fit next to the neck, then the necklace mesh will just have to rest on top as seen bellow
The hood is tight at the base of the neck
Necklace is resting on the shoulders, there's no ermine colar. No colar and tight neck hole will allow necklaces to fit in the future
