New Cloak!
This cloak like the tunic was made by Twin Rose Designs
Heres the front veiw: http://yfrog.com/4ucloakfront1j
My pennannular will be iron and worn a bit higher on the shoulder than shown here in the pre-ship photo.
Heres the back: http://yfrog.com/83cloakback1j
Heres the front in detail: http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/9192 ... etail2.jpg
The overall length is about 50", the hood sports a medium length tail and there is an ebony toggle that draws the cloak a bit tighter around the neck for a scarf like effect for warmth and to keep the hood from blocking my peripheral vision....*Edited to use a big word* and correct a link. . The material used is pre-washed wool flannel.

Re: New Cloak!
Very nice, looks to be a fairly heavy weight.

Re: New Cloak!
Thanks Pete, I'm honestly not fabric savvy enough to say what weight this wool flannel, I would guess a medium weight? but pre washing will full it up a bit. I've asked Andrea to pre wash all the wool I've got so far. At first I done this for easy maintenance, I can machine wash my garb on gentle/cold and line dry.But seeing how full the wool got, the wash also makes the garments insulate a bit better.

Re: New Cloak!
I really like your cloak! I have heard many good things about Twin Roses, and will have to check them out. There is nothing better than a good cloak in the cold. A couple years back we went to Closing Day at the Ren Faire. It was a cold windy November afternoon, and the cloaks we had kept us more than warm. We need to start a fashion trend! Now you have to have some pics made in your new cloak!

Re: New Cloak!
Speaking of Penannular brooches, have you ever seen these guys?
http://www.craftycelts.com/celtic_brooches.html
We have some of their pieces and have met them in person several times, great stuff and looks good with kit. We gave a horse pendant to a Ranger lady friend of ours who wore hers to Dragon-con, and Bruce Hopkins aka Gamling talked to her at length about it. We got a personalized pic as well

The cloak does look good and really warm. I will check those guys out when I get a chance.

They are very cool to see in person. I have the wolf belt buckle and it is a very solid piece.jolromir wrote:seriously though i see a tourqe with my name on it.

Re: New Cloak!
I've done business with them since Pennsic XXII...torcs, bracelets, pendants, brooches.
I have the paired oak leaf cloak clasp for my Bard-Druid cloak, dragon and bear bracelets, boar, bear, and dragon pendants, falcon, dragon, and historic torcs and even bronze hair pins and similar things.
Great folk, awesome products.
