One full-length hooded cloak in white wool, cut long enough to finish a costume rather than sit on top of it. The pale colour holds its shape at distance and frames whatever is worn under it, from a plain tunic to full armour. Four ways to wear, all from the one garment.

Designed by Chow, made to her specifications since 1994.

Four ways to wear the one cloak

  1. Closed as a double-breasted crossover, the front panels overlap to keep the wind out and leave both hands free.
  2. Buttoned on both sides, so a left- or right-handed wearer can fold back one panel and reach a weapon without opening the whole cloak.
  3. Both panels folded back to wear as a cape, letting the armour or costume underneath show through the drape.
  4. Unbuttoned and rebuttoned at the shoulders, the front panel folds away so the cloak sits as a robe.

All four styles come from how the one cloak is built, not from separate pieces to add or lose. The buttons run down both sides on purpose, so weapon access works whichever hand you favour. It is the kind of detail you notice at the third event, not the first.

A pale cloak does a different job to a dark one. Black and brown sit back and let the kit underneath carry the look. White does the opposite, framing whatever it opens over, so a plain tunic and belt read as one finished costume rather than separate pieces. Worn closed it reads healer or mage first; rebuttoned as a robe it carries a warrior or a wizard just as readily. One honest note: white picks up field mud faster than any other colour in the range, so it earns its keep in camp and in ceremony more than it does in a wet bog. At 49in the wool blend has the weight to fall in proper folds rather than hang flat, and that weight is where the cost sits.

Common questions

Is this one garment or a cloak and a separate robe?
One garment. It is a single convertible cloak that buttons down both sides, so it can be worn as a crossover cloak, a cape, or rebuttoned at the shoulders to sit as a robe. There is no separate robe, the robe is one of the four ways to wear the cloak.
How do the four styling options work?
The cloak buttons down both sides. Closed, the panels cross over double-breasted against the wind. Fold back one side for weapon access, both sides to wear it as a cape, or rebutton at the shoulders to sit it as a robe. It all comes from the one garment.
Will it fit over armour, and how long is it?
It is one size, cut full and long at 49in from the shoulder, so it sits over armour, a tunic or a robe with room to move. The wool blend holds warmth and has the weight to cut the wind, and it resists light rain (for heavy rain you would still want a waterproof over the top). Send your measurements if you want to check the fit before buying.
How do I keep a white cloak clean at an event?
Dry clean is recommended, or machine wash cold. A pale wool blend shows mud sooner than a dark one, so let splashes dry and brush them out rather than rubbing them in wet. Hanging it to air between days keeps it looking its best over a long weekend.

Wool blend.

The weight of the wool blend gives the cloak its drape, cuts the wind and resists light rain. For heavy rain you would still want a waterproof over the top.
