A Monks Cowl, in this case, the cowl is separate from the robe, they can be one garment.
Cowl or Hood. What's the difference between a Hood and a Cowl well not much really
There seem to be many definitions and the garment changes they refer to also change over time, these are my definitions.
A cowl is a hood that is generally worn by monks, it can be attached to a garment such as a robe and can be pulled forward to cover the face.
A hood is a soft covering for the whole head with a hole for the face and neck and is usually part of another garment such as a coat or cloak, but can also be a separate garment all on its own
So if you read the description the only real difference is perhaps a cowl is worn by monks, but otherwise, it's the same garment.
