This is made from a lovely, lovely fabric. It looks like crushed velvet without the shiny tacky appearance, it handles like a light velvet. It's crease resistant and pretreated with Scotchguard to minimise staining. It's warm - perhaps a little too heavy for all-concealing kit in the hot summer days, but trust me, at night, dusk, in
the winter and the rain, this stuff has the warmth and rain-hampering power of faux suede.
This is a plain dark blue robe, made to the Simplicity pattern 9887 (yoke front cloak). Under certain lights, the blue fabric appears black under subdued lighting such as at dusk. Each seam and hem is triple stitched; to make the garment more durable, to make it aesthetically quite pleasing and also to make the inside of each seam tidy and
fray-resistant. The hood is lined with light black cotton for comfort and aesthetic look when the hood is down. Lastly, but by no means least, it is fastened at the front with a silver coloured clasp.
