A dark green hooded cloak for $61.58, in six sizes covering 115cm to 183cm, so it fits a primary school child through to a fully grown adult. One piece, thrown on over ordinary clothes, with an oversized hood and a plastic shank button closure. A cloak is the most efficient costume there is. It goes over whatever the person is already wearing, it needs no sizing precision, it takes three seconds to put on, and it reads instantly as a costume in a photograph. That is why it works equally for an anime convention, a Halloween party and a school dress-up day where the child will be running around for six hours. The oversized hood is what does the work visually - it creates the silhouette that makes a plain cape look deliberate rather than like a bedsheet. Specifications Style Dark green hooded cloak Hood Oversized Closure Plastic shank button Sizes 120, 130, 140, 160, 170 and 180cm Height range 115cm to 183cm Fits Children through to adults, unisex Occasion Anime cosplay, conventions, Book Week, Halloween Stock location Australia What's in the Box 1 x hooded cloak Dark green, in the size selected Why Choose This Hooded Cloak It goes over normal clothes - no changing room needed, and a child can wear their uniform underneath and take it off at the end of the parade. Six sizes, 115 to 183cm - the same cloak fits a Year 3 student and an adult, which is rare and useful for a group. Nothing to fit precisely - a cloak forgives being slightly big or small, unlike a fitted costume. Reads as a costume from a distance - the oversized hood creates the whole silhouette on its own. Australian stock - dispatched locally within one business day. How Do You Pick the Right Cloak Length? Match the size number to the wearer's height in centimetres and the cloak will finish around mid-calf, which is the length that looks intentional and does not trip anyone. If you want a longer, more dramatic sweep, order one size up: on a 150cm wearer, the 160cm cloak sits closer to the ankle. Do not go more than one size up, because a cloak that touches the floor gets stood on, gets filthy at an outdoor event, and is a genuine trip hazard on stairs. For a child who will be moving quickly, order the exact size rather than up. What Do You Wear Under a Cosplay Cloak? Plain dark clothing, and the simpler the better. Black or brown long sleeves and trousers, with boots if you own them, is the standard base and it costs nothing because most people already have it. The cloak is the costume, so anything visible underneath should be neutral enough to disappear. Avoid bright colours, logos and school uniform stripes showing at the collar, because that is what breaks the effect in photographs. For a cold morning, the cloak is genuinely warm, so layer underneath rather than over. Is a Cloak a Good Costume for a School Dress-Up Day? It is one of the best, for practical reasons rather than dramatic ones. It goes on over the school uniform in thirty seconds and comes off just as fast when a child gets hot, which means the costume survives the whole day instead of being abandoned at recess. It also has nothing to lose - no mask, no props, no accessory that ends up on a classroom floor. The one thing to check is your school's rules on hoods, since some ask that hoods stay down indoors, and a cloak still works perfectly with the hood back. Who Buys These Anime and manga fans buying for conventions, which is the largest group, and they buy across the adult sizes. Parents buy the smaller sizes for Book Week and Halloween, where a cloak is the low-effort choice that still looks good. It also gets bought for medieval and fantasy themed parties, school productions, and by groups who want everyone in the same simple piece without matching sizes precisely. Pair It With For a fuller anime look, the straw hat pirate cosplay set covers the same audience. For a warm full-body alternative, the fleece monster onesie works for conventions and Halloween. Add face paint to finish a character look on the day. Frequently Asked Questions What sizes are available?120, 130, 140, 160, 170 and 180cm, covering heights from 115cm to 183cm. It is unisex.
