@@yourinnerbeingchannel7974 Probably was a lot easier than figuring out the methods of using the base form for a hood. That's my one hesitation for making one of these. That video will be much appreciated.
Oh hey!!! This design is the exact same as was used by the Celts, they called this cloak a Ruana Shawl (except this one is much longer haha.) You can look up pictures- but how amazing is that? You came by the design in a completely original way, well done!! Great minds think alike 😄
The Celts did have various shawls or stoles that were similar but specifically the Ruana cloak originated in South America (Colombia if I recall correctly).
@@craigbryant9925 ah, we are further educated! You are completely right, found lots of sources back that up- thank you so much!! Probably would never have figured that out haha 😄💖
Yup, Ruana is handsdown the superior cloak. This one is longer and wider than most I have seen (Gandalfs is wider and longer yet), and I seen no other with a hood attached. I am glad, you're enjoying it.
Such an incredible mind at work here. Thank you for sharing with us. Your videos and insights always give me pause and a reason to evaluate my perspective.
I did research into cloak design options, and that's the type that I decided I liked best for versatility! I might consider adding a hood like you have.
it seems like a long runa cloak with a hood added, very cool! I second the recommendation to try a great kilt though, they are my favorite cloak unless I know i'm headed into densely thorny brush
Set here thinking the man looks like a wise wandering hermit, then he put on the broach and just solidified the ancient secret order alumni vibe I was getting from the fit
@@yourinnerbeingchannel7974 just did and subscribed. Thank you for your lesson! Can't wait what other stuff you have in there... One idea, could you make a tutorial on how to make those cloak pins with thick wire?
If you add weights to each corner, Such as fishing weights about a quarter pound each, it'll hang a lot straighter And be able to be used as a tarp As well as your universal cloak. You do want it to be about a quarter pound so you can have some oomph when swinging And to prevent it from easily being blown away in the wind. And if you treated with hybrid phobic Materials the cloak could double as a small tent.
This I have to try. The back drops to a point and I end up stepping on it from time to time. I thought about cutting an inch or two off, but your ideas just might be the solution I need.
@@yourinnerbeingchannel7974 Glad to help. The channel Skilltree made a similar cloak without the hood but with the weights. 😋...he ended up making his too short but the weights seemed to hold the cloak in place.
The material is wool. You can get a blend of wool and cotton that will make it more softer, but the draw back is that is won't repel as much rain. 100 percent wool can be unconfirmable but is more resilient.
This is kind of what I've been looking for!! But I don't understand the hood. I wish you had shown even a basic drawing of the main piece, and the hood, and had just shown how they are put together.
You exposed yourself when you were showing how you can use your hands. You aren’t fooling anybody. Just go ahead and say it. You’re a spellcaster. Good video.
Nice design! :) Wouldn't it be better to design one you could set up as a tent, instead of a blanket? You could btw. use a random normal cloak as a tent. 😅🍻😅🍻
That Skilltree fellow showed how to waterproof his woolen cloak using a product that sounds like Niktrik, or something similar, that could be washed in on a cold, low-tumble cycle.
I was thinking The benifit of full blanket with hood is homeless should have these but wool is expensive to make human teepee with body warmth during emergency. I hung out and talked with one homeless vet who walked around with super thin tent liner as a walking blanket, cloak and weather blanket. He passed out drunk in the hard rain and was just fine.

Congratulations you created a Jedi Robe Snuggy. Now all joking aside, I like your design.
Thank you, I took a long time to research and chose a design, it worked out well.
Ah, this cloak really is making the rounds. Really a top tier design.
I did lots of research before creating it, i am pleased how well it turned out and how simple it was ti make.
@@yourinnerbeingchannel7974 It looks a bit as if the hood is additional. Is that a trick of folds, or did you sew it onto the base shape?
@@VelaiciaCreator I sewed it in. I will make a video shortly showing the details.

And i thank you Justing, your comment means a lot to me.
Thankyou obi-wan, you are my only cloak designer
Lol 😃 that is thr best
I designed one a few years ago. Mine turned into a sleeping bag or a blanket.. Extremely useful
Very awesome to hear mate .
That's cool 😮
I did research into cloak design options, and that's the type that I decided I liked best for versatility! I might consider adding a hood like you have.
An improved ruana cloak w/a hood. Really nice!.
Nice
That's pretty cool could you post a video on how to make one or at least a rough sketch on your pattern
I will creat a new video shortly to give the specs and some photos, you may be happy to see the simplicity of it.
It isn’t only practical, it’s also mad sexy!! Job well done!
Well thank you!
Sexy?
Also excellent camouflage perfect for watching wildlife
I love my Ruana. Competed with in versatility only by my Great Kilt.
it seems like a long runa cloak with a hood added, very cool! I second the recommendation to try a great kilt though, they are my favorite cloak unless I know i'm headed into densely thorny brush
That is definitely a versatile garment, would be cool to try.
"I wanted to make a blanket...with a hood on it".....oh, a cloak then?
This, Brother, is a true blessing. Thank u so much! A question: is the hood added as a seperate cut of cloth? The whole thing is a beauty.!! ♨️🙏🏻🔥
Ah thank you. Yes the hood is separate
Set here thinking the man looks like a wise wandering hermit, then he put on the broach and just solidified the ancient secret order alumni vibe I was getting from the fit
You made my day, great comment lol
How did you attach the hood, thats a important piece???
How do you actually put it together though?
Genius!
Thank you.
Hello, what is the weight of the fabric in g/m2?
how do you make the hood? Thank you very much, fantastic video
Please check out the following up video to see how I made the hood, happy to share th-cam.com/video/dJcYe-rvp9U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cicwTvLcIemgMbdu

@@yourinnerbeingchannel7974
Alll 8 corners.
Yes, including the two. that you made.
i came to this on my own for similar reasons but I added belt loops and belt, pockets,are next
That sounds awesome
Did you use only one blanket and if so how big was the thing when you began? Had to be a huge blanket!!
Hello, good question. I did do a follow-up video showing what I did. Please see here and enjoy. Thank you. th-cam.com/video/dJcYe-rvp9U/w-d-xo.html
Okay... Now you did or will do a video on how you made that cloak correct?
Nice this the part of fashion at that time...and this isn't related to only vampires
Great video, was just wondering what material it’s made out of, thanks 😊

@@yourinnerbeingchannel7974 thanks very much! Thought it was wool but it looked quite soft on video 😊

How did you make the hood?
Good day, I happened to have made a video showing how I did it. The link is here. Thank you and enjoy. th-cam.com/video/dJcYe-rvp9U/w-d-xo.html

If gandalf was a jedi😂
Also, get a great kilt it is equally as good.
That is definitely a versatile garment, would be cool.
Good for looking big when scaring away animals
The Gandalf.
Nice design! :)
Wouldn't it be better to design one you could set up as a tent, instead of a blanket? You could btw. use a random normal cloak as a tent. 😅🍻😅🍻
Yes you could, if I chose to I could use this design for cover.😀
Bro be looking like obi one kenobi on endor
Yep lol.
I want my own Jedi robe. We can i get one
There are some places online you can get one, I know Amazon sells a few styles..
@@yourinnerbeingchannel7974 a link would help. I would like the one seen in your video. I’m a tall guy and coverage is what I’m hoping for.
Looks like a Jedi cloak.
It certainly does.
have you taken this out in the rain yet?
Hey, good question, yet I have taken it out n the rain. It did not get too soggy or heavy, was quite nice.
That Skilltree fellow showed how to waterproof his woolen cloak using a product that sounds like Niktrik, or something similar, that could be washed in on a cold, low-tumble cycle.
This is very similar in size to the galdalf cloak from peter jacksons lord of the ring....
Seeing the thumbnail pitcher I just thought obi wan
General kanobi
Dr. Doom called he wants his shyt back. How dare u he said. Stole his whole design and function.
Aaaww doom and i go way back, he will forgive me, ha haaa

sir, I would gladly pay you money to make me one!
I do not commission for I have a full time job, but I am honored you feel that way.
@@yourinnerbeingchannel7974 you break my heart, but I understand.
Video is to dark not impressed
Sorry it disappointed you.
When you film yourself in a dark foreground against a bright background...... I stop there.
Just sayin..... I'll try a different one.
Thanks.
