Harness - Pauldron - Vambrace - Weathering - Cloak - Tunic - Helmet
These are the best reference photos of the cloak I have been able to find.
Pattern
(Click on the cloak

(If you are wondering, that is
indeed Boromir's Tunic under the harness!)
I used pattern B
for length and altered the front much like A so that it does not
close.
For the Embroidery
trim, I created my own pattern. I had to sew together two layers
for the high collar in the back.
I cut out the material and sewed it together long ways, and
hemmed it all
Then I ironed on Heat n' Bond to it. This made it stiff and
easier to paint.
Embroidery
Using the blurry
photo as reference, I created my own embroidery pattern
and made a stencil to trace the pattern on to the cloak collar.
After filling in the horses white, I used puffy paint to draw on
the lines.

Once the Embroidery
was painted, I attached the trim with pins all along the edges.
Then turned it inside out and ironed in place on the duct tape
dummy. (Ironing it first keeps it straight)
The last step was sewing along the edges to finish it off.
