So I found it necessary to get this:

Of course the shipping was a little pricey beings it's handmade in Germany, but yeah I figured I needed one of these I got the green one:

When its cold out I can wrap the long part of the hood around like a scarf for more warmth, I initially had the renaissance festival in mind but I hardly mean to limit my wearing of it to that event...I imagine it will be quite nice in the winter.

Does anyone else have any non-typical clothing items, that you don't usually see a lot of people wearing? though technically I don't have it yet but it should be here by the end of the month.

Well....I used to have a habit of collecting unusual clothing from op shops because I liked the material/texture/finishing details/buttons/pattern/construction etc.
I wouldn't actually wear them. Often they weren't even my size. Or anything like something I would actually wear. Maybe it was kind of a fetish. Like a 'petting zoo' in my wardrobe.
I came to my senses last year and donated them all to a charity.
I miss those clothes....

Not really. I have somebody's used boy scout shirt (with patches) and my BDU pants from the Air Force.

I have some extremely cool, over-the-knee, suede boots, that I LOVE to wear!! They have bright colors (fuchsia, orange, and gold-ish yellow)----I can't get ENOUGH color!!

I wear armor... it's a comfort thing, makes me feel better.



I really like that cloak you got. If I wasn't so afraid of getting mine messed up, I'd wear it out more (satin, so it snags. I need a wool one)

Cool, I am thinking some suede boots would be a good thing to have...I may have to keep my eye out for some green ones, or black or brown would work.

Good idea----here's you some.....

These, but in brown (they have that renaissance look):



These, but with the heel like above:

Here's a "mountain woman" look (they're interesting, but I don't think they'd go with your cape):



These would go:



These are okay----but, maybe a little too dressy:



IMO, the first ones would be the BEST, in BROWN; or, the second ones, with a heel like the first ones.

Is it bad that I want one?

Well I finally got that cloak today...it is made of pretty strong/durable fabric, it is kind of long on me but that looks kind of cool and seems sturdy enough it can drag some. It's certainly not made of satin, though a lot are it seems.

Oh, my----I would've thought it would've been made of wool!

Did you see the boot pictures, I posted for ya?
