cowls

Draped sweater necklines

Cowls is the plural of cowl, a loose hood or hooded garment, especially one worn by monks: The monks pulled up their cowls against the rain.

A cowl is also a hood-shaped covering for a chimney or ventilation shaft that directs airflow and prevents downdrafts.

In automotive contexts, the cowl is the panel between the hood and windshield.
