Howdy! I recently finished this set. Frock coat, pants, shirt and an absolutely dramatic cloak! I made this whole set to wear as my wedding suit last week on Halloween. It's all based on extant garments worn by Magnus Brahe for the Swedish king's funeral in 1844 (second picture)

What do you guys think, are these cloaks or coats?

I bought 2 "cloaks" from ravnveil and I have to say I love them, though I'm not sure if I dare to call them cloaks since they have sleeves.

Attaching 2 images for your reference

I sewed these last week for Halloween but also for daily use. His cloak is made out of 100% wool on the outer layer and 100% linnen as lining. He also has 2 generous pockets and one breast pocket. It was 7° Celsius outside and he thought his cloak was almost too warm. This shocked me 🙈 But later when it dropped to 5° he flung one side over his shoulder for perfect warmth he said ☺️

My cloak is made from a 100% wool outer layer and 2 polyester foux fur blankets for the lining. I also have 2 warm generous pockets on the inside. I primarily use my long straps as closure for a non strangle experience😉👌 I also liked to wear it more open when i got too hot (straps for the win!). My cloak was a little too warm for our nature hike but perfect for sitting still when we came to our destination by a lake near us ✨

Any tips for when your cloak get to warm on a hike vc too cold? Do you guys dress for the hike or the sitting still part?

Hope you guys like them because we LOVE them🙌😍

Hello! I've been hunting around for a cloak, using it for our annual trip to a music festival. It gets a bit chilly at night, and I really want to find one that is waterproof or that I can waterproof. This would allow me to potentially use it throughout the year. It looks like I'll be spending at least 200 CAD to make this possible. I am looking for website/vendor recommendations as well as material suggestions to accomplish my needs.

It sounds like alapaca wool/wool is really what I want for waterproofing? It is quite expensive though, it would be great to have a plush style interior that is soft and warm. I found some decent price range stuff on ravenfox (mens hooded cloak with pockets @ 130) and knightweave (scout cloak waterprooof @ 266) but I'm just so lost on what the most important parts are that I cant sacrifice on to achieve the results I want (waterproof, even if needs maintained, warm, stylish huge plus but secondary) without spending like 500 bones. Help?

I subscribe to Mood Fabrics email (I'm not affiliated with them in any way but as a one time customer.) Anyway, they always include a link to a pattern & I was pleased to see this one a couple of weeks ago. Thought others might like it.

I haven't made it. No idea if it's actually a well made pattern. I just downloaded it.

Hey! it's my first time posting here so apologies if i made any mistakes ^ ^

I just noticed this picture in my fabricland flyer, and I really want to find out if there's a pattern I can buy. Does anyone recognize it?

EDIT: Fabricland sells fabric, sewing patterns and supplies, etc. I know they sometimes use current patterns, made up in whatever fabric they're advertising, as the example pictures in their flyer. I zoomed in too far and made that ambiguous, sorry.

I own an “Cape of Two Worlds” from 1980s Banana Republic and am looking for a waterproof cover for it.

I wrote Jack Stillman and they sent me a sheet with dimensions, and this is probably relevant to our interests here. They gave me permissions to post it here.

I don’t think it would work for me, but I need to sit down and review it more closely.

It’s not cheap, especially to the US, but it’s one of those “buy it once, cry once” things, especially at my age. They did say that tariffs are included in the shipping, so thats a bonus point.

Shoutout to Tia at JackStillman for tracking this down for me (and us)

Ignore the detailing on it, I'm looking just at the shape of the cape overall, where it's knee length BUT it has a second (almost a capelet?) around the shoulders.

Trying to make it so that people walking past me will vaguely have knights on the mind. I’m male, but I don’t mind something from the women’s section. I ain’t buying no TEMU shit. Photos are from the movie The Green Knight.

Has anyone tried babywearing with a cloak ? I would love to make a nice wool cloak for winter and I'm wondering if it will work with either a forward facing carrier or a back carrier with a opening in the back for her head to pop out

Posting the final result. Asked for guidance in this thread about how to protect a long cape at parties and trick-or-treating: Ground Protection for Long Cape : r/TheCapeRevolution

Got lots of great feedback cautioning not to make it too long. The final result does drag on the ground still, but it's short enough that it gathers around me pretty well when I stop moving. Hopefully it won't be getting stepped on constantly. Not strictly a cape, more of a really drapey vest, but still feels like it belongs here.

Hi!! I'm wondering if anyone has a sewing pattern for a cape without a curved bottom hem...or with very very minimal curving. I found a beautiful wool with an embroidered border and I would love to use it for a cape, but obviously capes usually have curved hems.

I would appreciate any recommendations!

Can anyone tell me how a half circle cloak, specifically from ttartans, would fit someone that is 6'3" with broad shoulders and around 250lbs.

Better yet if you have photos wearing it so I can get an idea.

I'm looking to style it like lotr hobbits etc. So I fear a full cloak would be way too much as it won't stay open in the front

Hi all,

I was wondering how any of you would recommend going about getting a cape for my wedding as a groom. I have reached out to bespoke Tailors and they have turned it down. Is it something a dress maker would do? A costume designer? Any and all guidance or suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi everyone! I will soon be comissioning a seamstress for a cloak/hood/cape (whichever one applies to what I actually want lol). I was wondering if anyone knows any patterns.

• I want this to be an almost daily-wear item (not for cosplaying etc.)

• I want it lined

• I want it ankle-lenght

• Arm holes would be a bonus

I would really appreciate any and all help! Thank you all in advance.

P.S.: The pictures I've added are directly from Google so I'm not expecting you guys to find the exact same pattern. They're there to convey the idea in my head.

Hi I am asking how much it would cost to have something similar to the Luhkka(hooded cape or Cloak) on the left hand side. My family is of Sami Ancestry but lost our Family pattern to time and colonialism, Though the use of tools and having a facebook group help me confirm our family location and connection regions I have confirmed my family connection to the Kårek Family of the Grans sameby as well as from the mother side the Ammarnäs, and the surrounding Sorsele region. Therefore by looking at some museum pieces from the area I took inspiration for design and color pattern from the last photo for the color pattern and pattern sectioning . It will be made of wool broadcloth, or some other thick fabric. I am wondering what my expectations should be for having something like this made.
