Historical Insight: The Essential Cloak

Hooded cloaks made from durable fabrics like heavy canvas (a successor to historical heavy linens or wools) were an absolutely essential part of attire for travellers, soldiers, pilgrims, and common folk throughout the medieval period. They offered protection from rain, wind, cold, and sun. Their simplicity of cut and construction made them accessible and practical. A cloak was not just a piece of clothing but often served as a blanket or ground cover when sleeping outdoors.

About the Material

Cotton canvas is known for its exceptional strength and durability. Historically, similar robust woven fabrics were used for making sails for ships, tents, durable workwear, and bags. Its properties are therefore perfectly suited for an adventurer's cloak that must withstand the rigours of travel and harsh weather. This "heavy cotton" canvas is a modern equivalent of the sturdy textiles of the past.

How to Care For Your Cloak

To keep your 'Adventurer' cloak looking its best and maintaining its quality for as long as possible:

• Wash before first use.

• Can be ironed on low heat if necessary.
