Cloaks? I want these hats back:
I remember a video some dude put out where he discussed how he’s pretty sure he discovered that those hats were just some other article of clothing rolled up which is why they’re a little silly… I’d need to look for the video again. He’d made something, I forget what, and realized that it folded up into that hat exactly.
I don’t know the video you are talking about, but the piece of clothing this hats developed from is called gugel. Someone decided to wear the part for the face on the head, and fancy fashion it became.
Hell yeah!
Watching historical series and the hats people used to wear makes me want one too. But then I remember all the tips fedora jokes.
Fedoras are kinda silly looking, but Chaperons are just *chef’s kiss*.
Be the change you want to see. Whats stopping you from rocking a cloak?
I was literally just shopping for cloak sewing templates. If anything I’ll have a nice costume.
be the change you want to see in the world.
Warm is a problem though
This little mud ball is cooking
Valid.
sun-reflecting cloaks?
Immediately people start hiding rifles and rock launchers under their cape. But it’s ok. I’ll curl up in my rock patterned cape to camouflage as a rock.
Perfect for my inner anarchist :)
You’ll get your cloak when I get my toga.
I’ll wear both!

Come to College in portugal! Is part of the atire.
I had a “traje academico” back in those days. Loved to wear it on winter, it was so warm and confy.
I’m worried about the safety implications of bringing them back. What if they got caught in an escalator, elevator door, taxi door, normal door.
Plus I think it would be rude if you are walking down the sidewalk and your cape/cloak keeps touching people who are walking by you.
I don’t think anybody worries about those things happening with long dresses, which are already plenty common and have similar risk.
Flashbacks to that chapter of The Watchmen where Dollar Bill tried to stop a bank robbery at a bank with revolving doors…
Do you know about dresses ?
The long but slim/tight ones seem fine in most circumstances, but you can’t be claiming that the big and loose ones don’t tend to make their wearer hyper focused on trying to get through the “danger areas” without incident.
I am aware of them haha but I know that those who wear them also do not like to wear long ones because of the inconvenience they cause.
It kind of irks me to be spoken for, so to say, so just for the record: me right here, I wear dresses, and I especially like to wear long ones. We do exist!
Also, any inconvenience is a worthy trade-off for vastly minimised accidental flashing risks, for me personally. I like dresses, but I’m not always good at remembering I’m wearing one 😅
Yikes, didnt think of that. I think we could work it all out though.
Check out the Cloak brand of clothes, they’ve got really neat cloaks that are super warm and fashionable!
Thanks, I will
Counterpoint, sleeves.
Blanket whenever you need them
Is that even a cloak? Seems more like an attached cape.
I want full cult/jedi ammonitiy.
Cloaks are really a cool idea and I miss them, not that I was ever alive for them being en vogue haha
A great look despite the obvious hazard of them getting caught on things
I’m no hobbit, but they seem impractical to me. Drafty in cold weather and sweaty in cool weather. I’ll stick with modern breathable Gor-Tex!
Yup. Would be something to get used to.
I have one that a friend made for me. Thick, warm, waterproof, not only is it my favorite “winter coat,” I legit get compliments from strangers when I wear it in public.
That sounds amazing!
I had one for a couple years, best winter ‘coat’ I’ve ever had! You probably shouldn’t wear it with just a t-shirt underneath in the freezing snow, but with a sweater - you could wear that in the freezing rain for a while!
I always layer up in cold weather anyway; I hate feeling cold.
