Good to know that this could help you! 🙂 In fact the written sources often are much older (even 14th century) than this illustration from Hamburg, but this is the only picture I know of a hoike. I’m still searching for some more hints and I will let you know 😉
You can visit us (so my boyfriend and me, we’re not really a group…) on our blog, but it is still quite new and there is not so much information or pictures yet. We see to pimp it up 😀 –> sionpilger.wordpress.com

This seems really plausible to me and fills in a gap in the history of the item. 1497 is the earliest reference we now have. Hooray!

Margaret has been doing some research into the origin of the huik, so will point her at this new information.

Is there anywhere I can see you or our group in action? Always good to find people interested in a similar area.

I really love your work on the hoike! I myself do some late 15th century reenactment in the area of (southern) northern Germany. In my sources it becomes evident that the hoike (that’s the way how it’s spelled in the German regions) was a very popular garment in this area and every woman had at least two of them. But unfortunately there are many written sources where this kind of cloak is mentioned, but barely pictures, which could show how it really looked like. So for first inspiration I tried to research on Pinterest and there I found your board and used it as a first approach from the flemish side 😉
Due to this picture problem there is also much uncertainty about the northern german hoike, if it was a cloak worn on the shoulder or a cloak worn on the head. There is written evidence for both ways, but it doesn’t become clear if it is the same type of cloak, only worn in two different ways, or if these variations also differ in their construction. Now I found some illustrations from the Hamburg municipal law from 1497 where some women wear cloaks on their shoulders with long slim stand-up collars. And if you imagine how it would have looked like when they pulled the cloak to their head the collar would have formed this kind of bill at the fore-head as your hoike has! The german cloaks only appear to be longer than this flemish style of hoike and have more foldings and plications in the back. So I think I can assume that the type worn on the shoulders and the one worn on the head could really be the same… Now I have an idea of how it could have worked (also thanks to the inspiration by you 😉 ) and I think, I’ll try to sew one, too.
