Kind of hard to help when we don't know what software you're using

either way, you could start with a simple sphere, delete half, then extrude out from there.

But I would say go one poly at a time, to get the over all shape.

I'll agree that would be the easy way. However, the decision to point out capes-robes-hoods immediately made me think simulation/animation.

Please be specific about the software you're using, and what you hope to gain from any assistance (certain modeling technique, or more of a cloth/physics tutorial).

you can go into editable poly mode, select the poly's that are the back of his head then use the shift with the scaling tool to make a copy of that area. Then you can push and pull those verts to your liking.

Or... you can make a copy of the head, delete the inner parts that make up the face, add a "push" modifier and increase the amount to something that looks good. Turn it to an editable poly, and start adding detail where you need it, add a "shell" modifier to give it some thickness and then maybe a "meshsmooth" modifier to smooth it all out. :)
