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 black robe. It is completely unlined and unhemmed, as, despite the fact I've named it a mage's robe here, it was made as the bottom layer of the wraith's robe ensemble. The body was made to the Simplicity pattern 9887 (yoke front cloak). As I wanted a much bigger and more
dramatic hood, I shunned the hoods that came with the pattern and instead cut out to the size and shape of a Kinsale cloak hood.
