LARP cloaks and robes built to look the part and survive a full weekend in a field. Hooded wool cloaks, fur-lined capes, and full-length robes, each designed in-house and tested at real events since 1994. Pick a style below by character, material, or colour.
What makes a good LARP cloak
A LARP cloak is an outer layer worn over a costume to finish a character and add warmth at outdoor events. The strongest options use heavy wool or fur-lined fabric that holds its shape outdoors and layers cleanly over a tunic or armour. Hooded cloaks suit druids and rangers. Full-length robes suit mages and alchemists.
Cloak and robe types in this range
The range covers several cloak and robe types. Hooded wool cloaks are the everyday workhorse, warm and plain enough to fit most builds. Fur-lined cloaks and fur trim capes add weight and presence for vikings, nobles, and colder events. Mohair striped cloaks give a textured, patterned option. Full-length robes and high-collar noble robes form the base of mage, wizard, and alchemist kit, with herringbone weaves for a richer finish. Sleeveless hooded robes work as a lighter layer over a tunic in warmer weather.
Layering guide
Most cloaks here sit over tunics, gambesons, and armour without restricting movement. For a layered kit, a cloak works well with a hood underneath and a sash or belt at the waist to break up the silhouette. Browse the LARP hoods and mantles and LARP belts and sashes that pair with this range, or add a LARP gambeson for bulk under a robe.
Character and faction suitability
Cloaks and robes appear across almost every character type. Fur-lined and fur trim options suit vikings, elves, and nobles. Hooded wool cloaks work for druids and rangers. Full-length robes are the base of most mage, wizard, and alchemist builds, and the striped cloak is a popular pirate choice. Players kitting out for Empire, Lorien Trust, Curious Pastimes, Bicolline, or Drachenfest will find pieces that match faction looks. Each character sub-page in the LARP outfit sets collection lists specific cloak recommendations.

Frequently asked questions
Are these cloaks one size?
Yes. All Chows Emporium cloaks and robes are made in one size, cut generously to fit a wide range of builds. Each product page lists exact measurements for length and width, so you can check before buying. If you are unsure, message us about measurements and we will tell you how a piece will sit.
Can you wear a cloak over armour?
Yes. Most cloaks and robes in this range are cut to sit over a tunic, gambeson, or armour without pulling tight across the shoulders. Fur trim capes and shoulder mantles work well as a top layer over a breastplate and pauldrons. Full-length robes layer best over soft kit like a gambeson rather than bulky plate.
Which cloak suits my character?
Hooded wool cloaks suit druids, rangers, and woodland characters who want a plain, practical layer. Fur-lined and fur trim cloaks suit vikings, nobles, and colder looks. Full-length and high-collar robes suit mages, wizards, alchemists, and warlocks. For a pirate, the striped mohair cloak is the usual pick. Each outfit set page lists the cloak used in that build.
What are the cloaks made from?
The range uses heavy wool, mohair, faux fur, and herringbone weaves chosen to hold up at outdoor events rather than only look good in photos. Wool cloaks give warmth and a clean drape. Fur-lined and fur trim pieces add weight and presence. Fabrics are picked for durability on real terrain, not for appearance alone.
