It is the kind of detail you notice at the third event, not the first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pd-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pd-h\"\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this one garment or a cloak and a separate robe?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a\"\u003eOne garment.

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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I keep a white cloak clean at an event?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a\"\u003eDry clean is recommended, or machine wash cold.
