The cloak is made of good, heavy wool and looked great as part of the Headless Horseman costume it was purchased for. It is unlined with raw edges, so definitely feels more practical than formal. Would recommend!
I'm very happy with the overall quality of the cloak, but I had to replace the clasp as the hook was too small and would not remain engaged. I added a larger hook, similar to the one on my Regimentals, and solved the problem. I do wish the edges were hemmed. Over all it is well made, looks right, and is warm.
