Type of cloak (6)
I believe the answer is:
poncho
'type of cloak' is the definition.
(I know that poncho is a type of cloak)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for poncho that I've seen before include "Blanket-like cloth with centre slit, worn as cloak" , "Latin American-style cloak" , "Garment with hole for head" , "South American cape" , "South American garment" .)
