I think cloaks are sort of like corsets when it comes to actual wear: if you get juuuust the right one and it's fitted juuuuust right, then it's fabulous...but it's nearly impossible to find one that fits correctly and very difficult to find someone to mentor you properly in the care and feeding thereof.
That's part of the reason I don't do either these days.
OTOH, it's loads of fun to read/hear tales of the horrors others face when trying to wear them.
