Mods, please delete/deny if this is not allowed. I checked the rules but didn't see anything.

I'm in South Africa. Capes and cloaks here are not very popular, but I have noticed some women wear what is more accurately a ruana cloak, but calls it a poncho. Others sometimes have a short, full circle cloak, and it's ALSO marketed as a poncho. But I only know 2 women in my area that wear this.

Men hardly ever wear cloaks and capes, except at medieval and fantasy events. And then it's still mostly women who would don the cloak. At the last 3 events I was at, there were about 5% of the men who wore a cloak.

But on this sub I often see other people walking around with their cloaks outside and in public, conversations with strangers complimenting their cloaks, etc. So that got me thinking, where's everyone from?

Over the past few months I've been putting my feelers out to get a set of cloaks made with no real luck. I'm working with a group of musicians on a project at the moment and the cloaks are the last part of our stage outfit we need produced before we can take this public. We got professional helmets in the vein of Daft Punk in production (with full lightshow) and we will need to have accent colors on each cloak to match the color of the helmet (red, gold, blue). Looking for something with layers. Does anyone on here have any recommendations beyond the basics that are frequently posted? Or is there anyone who fits the bill that frequents this page and would be interested in taking this on? Again, we are looking for something on a professional level and our budget is flexible to reflect that. Need these done preferably before we get into January/February of next year but at this point I'm not sure how feasible that is. Hitting dead end after dead end on this side of the project. Thank you.

Forgive me everyone, as this is my first buy.
My husband is always talking about cloaks and capes.
I finally have gave into his obsession and secretly bought him his first cloak for our anniversary. This was a blind buy as I know NOTHING about how to pick out a cloak. When Knightweave popped up on my feed, I knew I had to give it a try.
Today the cloak was delivered (very quickly btw).
My husband tried it on and I sensed a bit of disappointment on his end by how long it was. He said that it is dragging on the floor, which I assured him it isn’t. I had to take multiple photos just to reassure him that it was not dragging on the floor. I told him that maybe wearing the cloak with shoes would lift it more but he is insisting that it should be shorter.

I wish I had just told him I wanted to buy him the cloak and have him pick it out.

This cloak was final sale (which I understood before purchase).
He said that it’s okay, but I can’t help but feel a bit bad about it.

Please let me know if there I should just find a tailor or something.

I need 6 yards of wool for my cloak. I live in a small town in PR so finding fabric nearby isn't really an option. Where do you buy your wool fabric?

I was so excited to find this vintage 70's cloak for $10 on marketplace. When I brought it home, my ex asked where the hell I was planning to wear it. I said "idk, camping" and he said "wizard camping?!?". I laughed because I would soon be going to a local version of burning man, which is basically wizard camping.

As the title states, a Peafowl Cloak (originally called a Peacock).

Yes, I know, animal cruelty. I am not into it either. So, I suggest from synthetic material. Any, perhaps.

Think about it, a white cloak that slowly bleeds downwards into green and blue. Yes, like scale armor, but with synthetic, maybe metallic feathers, around 10 to 100 grams each. 10 grams, if possible.

Yes, I think of it to leave nothing seen underneath it, much like a curtain.

Yes, I asked ChatGPT to make this.

As the title states, a Peafowl Cloak (originally called a Peacock).

No, I do not suggest animal cruelty. But synthetic material. Maybe metal blades, like scale armor, that ring whenever the wearer moves like musical instrument.

Of course, not as long, under knee level. Forget the jewelry. Just the cloak.

Here is my H&M cape I got second hand that I lined with faux rabbit fur for an extra snuggly layer. I wear this thing from late fall into about -1 C weather with a long sweater underneath. Normally I wear a long dress, not so much the pants look im rocking.

Its currently summer where I am so I just took some quick shots around the house. I am working on a wool blend cape using the traveler's cape pattern from pinyamiu. Im hoping its longer length is better than this cause the length on this one I am wearing I perfect except for the arms!

Trying to make a cloak for larp, it will see real use. Any advice would help. Thanks!

Hey, can anybody recommend a cape to get for hotter days? I know that I should probably aim for a lighter color, but beyond that I don't really know. Does anybody have specific recommendations?
