Capes & Cloaks

About

Capes & Cloaks Weather-resistance, Comfort, and Style Cloaks and capes have lasted centuries for a reason. They work. They keep warm, repel rain and wind, and top you off as a costume few pieces can. Every one at Epic Armoury is designed to work whether you're fighting cold, fighting your way through a festival crowd, or sitting beside the fire after a hard day at peace. Our cloaks are made to wear. The hoods roll up tidily, the stuff drapes round you without restriction, and the fastenings are secure and easy to handle. Wear them all day and stay comfortable. Try a decent cloak and you'll wonder how you ever managed without. What are Cloaks and Capes? A cloak is a loose, long outer robe that drapes over the shoulders and typically has a hood. It features a front fastening and offers protection to the knee or lower leg. A cape is its lighter version, shorter, sleeveless, and constructed for more movement. Both historically were worn for functional reasons: warmth, protection from the weather, and convenience. They were worn because they worked for all seasons and over almost any article of clothing. Contemporary cloaks and capes today are the same in use, but with better materials and longevity. They warm you up outside without giving up that timelessness, cinematic look. Why Cloaks Are Worth Having A cloak is one of those things that simply gets everything just right and doesn't call attention to itself. It's quick to put on, easy to layer, and wind, rain, and cold-resistant. It also gives you that put-together appearance that makes even plain clothes look purposeful. What They're So Good At Provide warmth and weather protection year-round. Layer easily over clothing, armor, or costume. Offer freedom of movement when walking, working, or acting. Fold or roll up for transport and storage. Whether you are on the field at a LARP event, festival, or outdoor party, a cape or cloak keeps you warm while creating an organic sense of presence.
