Was Peter naked as he lay in prison?

Acts 12:8 (ESV)

8 And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”

Peter would have been dressed in the clothes he was wearing when he was captured, with his cloak serving as a pillow/mattress.1 He is commanded to put on his cloak and make ready to leave.
