this baby can keep you warm. around thigh length cloak, with a big ol' hood. pockets. 2 of them. on the inside. fit your phone or whatever. the outside is soft and has a suede-like feel. a couple closure options using the buttons or an included lacing. has a bottom button to secure behind you and keep the cape open when it gets too warm. i coated this with water repellant spray to help keep you dry and the cloak clean. it's still holding up well, but if that changes in the future, get a can of of scotch water repellant spray and apply more. you're wondering if this grants the wearer any boons. to that i say sometimes the only magic you need is warmth and pockets.
