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!

They're so cool but yeah it's so "out there".

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!

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.

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/
