How to say "mantle" in Japanese

• マントCommon
  nounFor 'mantle' as an item of clothing: a loose cloak worn draped over the shoulders. When English 'mantle' means a cloak-like outer garment, this loanword is the natural choice.
• マントルCommon
  nounThe loanword for technical senses of 'mantle': above all the earth's mantle, the hot rock layer beneath the crust, and the incandescent mantle of a gas lamp. It does not name a garment.
• 覆いおおいCommon
  nounMatches 'mantle' only in the covering sense: a layer or shroud lying over something, as in 'a mantle of snow'. It is really the general word for a cover, not a garment.
• 回しまわしCommon
  nounA cape or loose garment draped around the body, but a marginal match for 'mantle': the word is better known as the loincloth worn in sumo, so it is seldom the word you want here.

Match the sense: 「マント」 for a cloak-like garment, 「マントル」 for technical senses such as the earth's mantle, 「覆い」 for a covering layer or shroud over something, and 「回し」 only for a mantle draped around the body.
