[*] cloak (noun) late 13c., "long, loose outer garment," from Old North French cloque (Old French cloche, cloke) "travelling cloak," from Medieval Latin clocca "travelers' cape," literally "a bell," so called from the garment's bell-like shape (the word is thus a doublet of clock ). An article of everyday wear in England through 16c., somewhat revived 19c. as a fashion garment. Cloak-and-dagger (adj.) attested from 1848, said to be ultimately translating French de cape et d'épée, suggestive of stealthy violence and intrigue.

[1] Coat (noun): early 14c., "outer garment," from Old French cote "coat, robe, tunic, overgarment," from Frankish *kotta "coarse cloth" or some other Germanic source (compare Old Saxon kot "woolen mantle," Old High German chozza "cloak of coarse wool," German Kotze "a coarse coat"), of unknown origin. Transferred to animal's natural covering late 14c. Extended 1660s to a layer of any substance covering any surface. Spanish, Portuguese cota, Italian cotta are Germanic loan-words.

coat (verb): late 14c., "to provide with a coat," from coat (n.). Meaning "to cover with a substance" is from 1753. Related: Coated; coating.

[2] Cape: garment, late Old English capa, cæppe, from Late Latin cappa "hooded cloak" (see cap (n.)). The modern word and meaning ("sleeveless cloak") are a mid-16c. re borrowing from French cape, from Spanish, in reference to a Spanish style.

[3] Jacket (noun): mid-15c., "short garment for men," from Middle French jaquet "short coat with sleeves," diminutive of Old French jaque, a kind of tunic, probably from Jacque, the male proper name, also the generic name of a French peasant (see jacquerie), but possibly associated with jaque (de mailles) "short, tight-fitting coat," originally "coat of mail," from Spanish jaco, from Arabic shakk "breastplate." Iakke "a short, close-fitting stuffed or quilted tunic, often serving as a defensive garment" is attested in English from late 14c., and by c.1400 was being used for "woman's short tunic." Meaning "paper wrapper of a book" is first attested 1894.

[4] Scarf: also known as a Kremer, muffler or neck-wrap, is a piece of fabric worn around the neck, or near the head or around the waist for warmth, cleanliness, fashion or for religious reasons.  Ancient Rome is one of the first origins of the scarf, where the garment was used to keep clean rather than warm. It was called the sudarium, which translates from Latin to English as "sweat cloth", and was used to wipe the sweat from the neck and face in hot weather. They were originally worn by men around their neck or tied to their belt. Soon women started using the scarves, which were made of cloth and not made of wool, pashmina, or silk, and ever since the scarf has been fashionable among women.


[5] Hungarian Szur:The most widespread form of coat-like outer wear is the szűr mantle. Although it has sleeves, in most places the sleeves are not used as such but are sewn up one end so that small utensils may be kept in them (cf. Ill. 37). In some places (Transdanubia), the sleeves became shorter until they atrophied completely. The word szűr itself probably originated from the first syllable of the word szürke (gray), which refers to its earliest colour. The mantle was sewn out of rectangular pieces, further proof of the great antiquity of this article of clothing. The szűr was not worn in Székelyland; instead garments called cedele (Kászon), zeke (Udvarhely), or bámbán (Csíkszék and Háromszék) were worn. These were also made from broadcloth and belong to an ancient type of clothing from south-eastern Europe. 

"...Hungarian sources also refer to Turkish shirts, blouses and chemises. An inventory of 1598 mentions a Turkish shirt among the possessions of a citizen from northern Hungary. Belts of coins were popular with Hungarian nobility in the 17th century. By the late 17th century, the Turkish fashions were giving way to those of western Europe. Still, oriental elements remained until the 18th century in Transylvania. After that, only the Hungarian festival costume retained the Turkish elements. But echos of it can be seen in things like the over sized sleeves of the szur. 
Turkish fashions lasted until the 18th and 19th centuries in the Balkans. "
