Cloudy, chilly and a steady mist, a great time to bring out
the cloak. Since coming to SC in 2009, I have not had the opportunity to wear
any of my cloaks. The weather is usually too warm for them. While living in
Maryland, the cloaks would come out the end of October and be worn until end of
March.
I owned three single layer cloaks made by Half Moon http://www.hmoon.com/ A black one; a dark
forest green and a heavy maroon with waist length yoke with white trim. The
reaction of others when I wear the black or green cloak is funny. Strange looks
from adults, some teen think it cool or whatever the new phrase is. Some teens
also, will call out "Hey Wizard" or speak loud enough to hear,
"Look at the Wizard".
Security folks will follow me around when I enter a store. When
this happens I usually just wonder around occasionally staring back at them and
upon leaving I make sure I tell them to have a nice day. As a former police
officer, I find this funny.
Back when Harry Potter was more in vogue, little ones would
cry out Hagrid. Sometimes they little ones think I am Santa Claus.
Why all the looks? What is the difference between wearing a
long cloak or a long wool trench coat or a Full-Length Hooded Wool Coat?
Perhaps it is typically women who wear cloaks, so seeing a
man wearing one is odd. More women than men have commented on my cloak, unless
I am at a Renaissance, then either sex may ask where I purchase my cloak.
