Manto Elara

I got this to actually use during frigid winter months when wool is the best fabric and I need a quick covering. It will double as a prop for various things -- plays, cosplay, Halloween. The cape itself is very heavy, and while the wool is not incredibly heavy (not thick, felted wool), it's tightly woven and will be insulating and water resistant. The lining is a polyester with a similar color to the wool, with a slight shine to it, so could pass for satin, lending a bit more historical accuracy.What I love is the fit. The hood's drape is gorgeous and very Elven, and the cloak has such a lovely swing to it when moving. It fits my narrow shoulders very well, and is long enough to just barely brush the ground if I'm in flats or barefoot. With slight heels, it's safely off the ground. I'm 5'5" so for anyone shorter (i.e., Hobbits, Mountain Dwarves, children...), it will drag on the ground.The clasp is detailed. I didn't even notice it when ordering, so the leather background and metal detail was a surprise. The cloak closes with a faux-bone frog, which works very well and seems durable.

It's exactly as pictured! I loveeeeee it! I am 5'3 and it's a bit long on me, but I imagine with boots in the cold months it won't be too bad. It's heavy and warm, it'll be perfect for winter!

If you're looking for a unique, stylish, and cozy outerwear piece for fall, winter, or even cosplay, this cape is a showstopper. It feels like really good value for money for such a versatile and dramatic garment.The quality of the wool blend is fantastic �C it's thick, soft, and feels luxurious, providing good warmth. The oversized vintage design with the hood gives it such a regal and mysterious vibe, perfect for making a statement. Whether you're wearing it for everyday elegance, a Renaissance fair, Halloween, or Christmas, it truly completes the look. It's totally good for its purpose, keeping you warm and stylish while adding a touch of drama to any outfit or costume.
