I wanted to use the plague doctor's coat with a SW cowl to create a monk. Unfortunately, the two parts aren't compatible. You can't push the cowl down so it rests on the shoulders. I know you make a hood that works with the coat as shown in your picture in the OP, but the SW one looks more sacerdotal.

In the end, I had to cut the back of a minifig's head away to achieve the desired look which is something I would much rather not have to do. Also, the coat prevents the arms from being raised.

That monk is very nice. But how does cutting the head help? Isn't the hood still in the same place so in the way of the cloak?

No, the head and hood are brought forwards slightly allowing the hood to rest on the shoulders and drape in front. The head isn't centred on the neck, i.e. the stud on the torso that heads normally slide onto. If you're wondering, the cut-away back of the head can't be seen: it's all hidden by the hood. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the side view but hopefully my explanation helps.
