Cloaks? I want these hats back:
Watching historical series and the hats people used to wear makes me want one too. But then I remember all the tips fedora jokes.
Fedoras are kinda silly looking, but Chaperons are just *chef’s kiss*.
I remember a video some dude put out where he discussed how he’s pretty sure he discovered that those hats were just some other article of clothing rolled up which is why they’re a little silly… I’d need to look for the video again. He’d made something, I forget what, and realized that it folded up into that hat exactly.
I have a cloak that I got from Topshop when I was a teenager. Was great for wearing at festivals. Still have it but doubt it fits these days

Warm is a problem though
This little mud ball is cooking
sun-reflecting cloaks?
I’m worried about the safety implications of bringing them back. What if they got caught in an escalator, elevator door, taxi door, normal door.
Plus I think it would be rude if you are walking down the sidewalk and your cape/cloak keeps touching people who are walking by you.
I don’t think anybody worries about those things happening with long dresses, which are already plenty common and have similar risk.
Flashbacks to that chapter of The Watchmen where Dollar Bill tried to stop a bank robbery at a bank with revolving doors…
Do you know about dresses ?
I am aware of them haha but I know that those who wear them also do not like to wear long ones because of the inconvenience they cause.
be the change you want to see in the world.
Be the change you want to see. Whats stopping you from rocking a cloak?
I was literally just shopping for cloak sewing templates. If anything I’ll have a nice costume.
Check out the Cloak brand of clothes, they’ve got really neat cloaks that are super warm and fashionable!
Thanks, I will
I prefer my ruana, it’s like a poncho, but the arms have more freedom.
Ooh, that’s cool!
I have one that a friend made for me. Thick, warm, waterproof, not only is it my favorite “winter coat,” I legit get compliments from strangers when I wear it in public.
I had one for a couple years, best winter ‘coat’ I’ve ever had! You probably shouldn’t wear it with just a t-shirt underneath in the freezing snow, but with a sweater - you could wear that in the freezing rain for a while!
Cloaks are really a cool idea and I miss them, not that I was ever alive for them being en vogue haha
A great look despite the obvious hazard of them getting caught on things
You’ll get your cloak when I get my toga.
I’ll wear both!
Counterpoint, sleeves.
yes! we absolutely should bring them back. They are really functional and also just look fabulous!
I’ve been thinking about this recently with the heat in my region. Wouldn’t a light cloak, with very light clothing underneath, work well for sun protection (one or two layers over skin) while still keeping fairly cool (due to airflow)?
I think that’s basically how traditional bedouin clothing works?
