I still don't think it suits him. He looks like one of the Thalmor in Skyrim
Yikes! Forgot about them. Guess that was a plot line hat never saw the light day...but that's an another story...
A toggle-able hood would be cool, like Blothulfur suggested. It worked for Bilbo and Company. However, I'd hate to be the poor fool who had to animate cloak combat without it flying all over the place. I suppose you could argue they did it in Batman though, but it seems the Witcher would be a whole 'nother can o'beans.
While we are on the subject of coats and jerkins, here's a cool exert:
Later, people said that the stranger came from the north, through the Ropers’
Gate. He came on foot, leading a heavily laden horse by the bridle. It was late
in the day; the stalls of the ropers and saddlers were closed, and the street
was empty. Although it was hot, the man had a black coat thrown over his
shoulders. He drew attention.
The stranger wasn’t old, yet his hair was almost completely white. Under his
coat he wore a worn leather jerkin with ties at the neck and shoulders. When
he removed his coat, everyone saw the sword belted behind his back. There
was nothing remarkable in that; in Vizima almost everyone went armed; but no
one carried his sword behind him like a bow or quiver.
