My big wool cloak is my absolute favorite winter garment. It is unbelievably warm and cozy, blocks wind better than any other coat I own, and as an added bonus I can wrap someone else up in it with me to keep THEM warm.
I am unabashedly the cloak girl. Bring back cloaks!
Cloaks would be cool. I know that’s more of a fantasy aesthetic than a medieval one but they are cool enough that it shouldn’t matter.
I have a cloak vendor bookmarked. I haven’t pulled the trigger because I don’t know if I wanna be the cloak guy, but dammit I want a cloak.
You can’t just say this without posting the link to the cloak vendor!
Fair enough!
They’re so cool but yeah it’s so “out there”.

I got a wool blanket. I’m sure there’s away to fold/drape into a cloak.
Just looked into it. just need a pin!
Medieval aesthetics also really had cloaks, but big detached hoods were more common.![](https://lemmy.team/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.ml%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Ff23daeed-002f-4436-93bf-761116c139e4.png)
These are pretty cool too!

Cloaks are actually quite historical, they’re very easy to make and useful in a variety of conditions.
There’s quite a community on reddit about bringing cloaks back: https://old.reddit.com/r/TheCapeRevolution/
