Obi-one over here showing us his fashion 😂
Quick note to all that a sewing machine isn't strictly necessary if you don't have one/are intimidated by one. I'm currently finishing up a full-length traditional cloak which I'm sewing entirely by hand. Yes, it is much slower, but 100% doable! Thank you for this awesome idea - favorited for future reference and likely making on my side! Love how versatile it can look.
So basically a Ruana Cloak with a hood. Nice 👍
Yes exactly 😀
Very nice! A company call Texas Body Hangings sold a refined version of that for many years until the owners passed away. I have three of them, two hooded and one collared. In addition to the ways you show wearing it, if you make a cloth belt out of the same material you can wear it in a couple of other ways as well that can make it more convenient. Make the belt long enough to wrap around your body twice. Then take the belt and use it to hold down the two front flaps, wrap it around your waist and back out the front (under the back), and then tie it at the front. That makes it very convenient to wear and not get in your way.
Wow what a great idea, I will certainly do that for myself, a simple and affective way to make this even more functional.
110" (13"+84"+13") long x 62" wide;
Hood is 42" long (21" tall) x 17" wide at Base;
Hood must be Cut & Sewn into Shape by a Pattern @3:42;
Cut all the way through Middle of Blanket, to it's Middle section;
Then form a "Teardrop" shaped cut around center of middle for neck comfort;
Sew Hood to "Teardrop" shaped cut.
Enjoy!
your a real genius (thanks)
Thank you, those are really kind works.
Great quick video!!!! It's going to be freezing at LARP this weekend so I turned my 3 yards of polarfleece into a quick cloak using this reference! I tied a quick tri point belt around the waist for more body/ sleeve control for bo staff combat.
Thanks for making this video! I found an old wool blanket at an estate sale that ive been wanting to turn into a poncho. I love the look of what you created. As a full time nomad, a wool poncho would be a great addition to my wardrobe.
Oh and I'm also subscribing after I read what you replied to NemFX. Love what your channel is all about.
Thank you, that is very nice to hear and I am grateful.
1:49 Oh. My dude's definitely "giving".
That beard alone my dude, holy hell Boromir 2.0 up in here!
I would love to convince a band of people to dress in Larp/ Medieval clothes and just go on their day as usual just to confuse the public
Omg I would too, seriously I would join.
That’s something I want to do.
That's what monk's do. Isn't it.?
a ruana cloak with a hood, nice lol
medieval obiwan
i kinda want that luke skywalker cape that fully wraps around him with that deep hood, this is very close to it, ill probably try this one day. thank you!
I'm only a year late, I don't know if you've modified your cloak yet, but you can simply cut the corners into semi circles, that way they won't drag them on the ground when your arms are lowered.
It seems medieval style but beautiful.
great stuff, master Jedi
I found a Snuggle kinda blanket that is my sleep system for pack living, you can stick your head through it like a poncho too for sitting around camp or lounging, but it's unwieldy if you are doing things
I actually really like the idea of having different types of fabric. Have you thought about making it leather or rubber from the knees down so you can use that part of the blanket on both end to lay on wet surfaces or at least water proof it from hitting and dragging on the ground over time?
Mt friend you have some good and interesting ideas. Btw I did go back and cut a few itches on the back, it did work in the sense that I don't step on the fabric.
great video really helped with a cosplay
Awesome to hear, I assume it turned out well?
Very well
You can put a zipper or several buttons in the front to turn it into a blanket or even a tent if you rub a candle on it and waterproof it.
Love ittttttttt....
Nice to know thank you
What is the length of the slit?
Fabulous cape pattern.
Ty
I found your video today. It does look like an easy cloak to make, although my dimensions would be a fair bit smaller than your own (I'm 5ft 7" in my boots and I'm not one of nature's hefty load-carriers). One question; how do you keep the hood up? Every raincoat I've ever had, when the wind blew, the hood just came down. I do live in Scotland, UK; We expect both rain and winds here most of the year - ice and snow too, just now. Still, it'd be good to figure out a way to beat the rain and the icy blasts! 😉
Yes I totally understand about the wind. First way I controle it from falling to my face is that I wear it so tbe brim or front is back a little firther, just pass where mt hairline is. Secondly, I just today did a video that might solve that, I created a hood hat, and there I a tie at the front that my help solve some of the wind issues. ua-cam.com/video/ZgQoEmdL1OU/v-deo.html
This looks useful.
What about Spanish Needle, burrs, stick-tights, briars and other perils of the woods?
Oh thanks for the ideas good person, I appreciate that.
I use mine to scare people.
Lol
Bro living his best life thinking he apart of the sith or lord of the rings.
Huh. Thought this would be a larp channel based on this video. Kinda surprised it isnt.
It's a bit of a mix my friend. What are your thoughts about this?
This channel has a mindfulness connections, to be connected to our own mind and survival. These videos of which are of making clothes and such began with sharing knowledge to respect how the ancients lived, how they made clothes and leather work, to gain wisdom and peace withing ourselves and comnunity, how we can all today learn some basic skill to take care of ourself and our families all while respecting and embracing nature. Thank you for your thoughts.
@@yourinnerbeingchannel7974 was hoping for more larp stuff. Most of the big larp channels have ended or are currently stalled out
That is basically a hooded ruanacloak
I literally thought the thumbnail pic was Obi-Wan
I prefer my burnuse.
Cool, i had to look that up to see what it is. Why do you prefer this?
@@yourinnerbeingchannel7974 Your design is good. I know some people who might very well prefer your robe, especially in Medieval Europe Role Play. My burnous is simpler, no hood, though burnouses come in a million types and styles, from light and simple to the whole nine yards. When I need a hood, I pull the whole thing up and hang in on my head instead of shoulders. Like your design, it is also versatile. It is a coat, a blanket, a sack, a tent (very small as tents, but can work). In a wood one day, a friend tied a rope from one tree to another, hung burnouse over the rope and used it as a one-wall locker room to change her clothes. It does not need a broach, pin, clasp, or other closure. The shape and drape keep it closed. Fabric choice is also preference issue. Wool is good. I prefer a heavy cotton, and this one is heavier than most denim or canvas yet feels lighter than most wool that I have seen (though wool can be spun and woven to astonishingly thin fabric.) I guess the biggest reason I prefer the burnouse is that in non-robe mode, that is as a blanket, pillow, seat cover or sack, it seems the hood can get in the way. Still, one could easily modify your idea to leave the hood off. Maybe that is why the timeless garment has been around for thousands of years across a great many independent culture. One thing beyond, there is an interesting history in how the drape became the burnous, then added the hood, which became the hat, which took on a wide variety of functional and cultural significances. Now, hats have much less significance, I think. Thanks for posting your video.
Can you make me one.?
How do you measure yourself for the dimensions?
Thanks for this great inspirational video! The coat would be perfect for me if I were hanging on a church facade in my free time as an apostle. But to survive in urban everyday life, there's just too much loose and heavy fabric on the arms. You can't wear a shopping bag or a backpack over this shoulder bulk. Nevertheless, it inspires me to find a solution that evokes antique aesthetics while still being a garment of the 21st century. Fabric and a dress form for draping are already prepared, so let the tinkering begin!
Love your attitude, may your tinkering me fun and awesome. You could west a backpack underneath like a poncho, cor urban life I get it, perhaps a shorter version might work. Either way, have fun and thank you.
Okay I just need to shorten it 6 inches
I’ve seen people saying you should make the back shorter than the front so the weight of it alone keeps it over your shoulders.
Have you experienced issues with it being equal length front and back?
I have experienced issues with the back, but I don't know if it was from being equal length. At this point and time I have cut 2 inches off the back and now I don't step in it. So it has helped.
You didn’t say what material you used for the bottom 13”. Did you use a different wool, or did you fold over the lower part of the cloak?
At beginning video he said he added material to make it longer. So it reaches the ground.
@@lil_Marie_Red Got it.
Hey, I'm 6'4" 265lbs. Would these measurements fit me well?
Matt, absolutely will. I'm 6' and I would even be able to shorten mine easily by 4 inches, so actually these measurements might fit you better then it does me.
What are your necklaces?
I wear various necklaces, the ones in the video you watched are two different ones. One is made with 108 wooden beads, also called a Mala. The smaller one is made with clay beads that I made, I have a video that shows you how i processed the clay and made things with. I like them both, but the clay one has been my go to for many occasions.
I would probably appreciate more uniform way, as this sawed bottom part doesn't look good, and probably will be issue when starting to teardown
So buy 2 wool blankets then sew them together at the ends then adjust the length with scissors.
He saved money, made it work, can be replaced easily if damaged and is hardly noticeable when worn. Win/win.
If you have have a 3" safety pin or cloak pin, you can place a wool blanket over your head length wise then pin it at your neck. Then gather the rest of the blanket at your waist with a rope forming a coat without any sewing.@@MiLittleCorner
Ok, I was going to say something but it would seem you’ve been roasted enough…
Created a hooded cloak all by yourself…
Um tanks.
