What is a Cloak?

A cloak is a loose, sleeveless outer garment that drapes over the wearer's shoulders and typically extends down to various lengths, from the waist to the ankles or even the ground. It usually fastens at the neck or shoulders and can be made of various materials, ranging from heavy wool for warmth to lighter fabrics for fashion or ceremonial purposes. Cloaks have been worn throughout history in many cultures for protection against the elements, as part of military uniforms, or as a symbol of status and authority.

They are often associated with historical or fantasy settings, such as in medieval times or in stories involving wizards, knights, or royalty.
