Pros of wearing a cloak all the time:

Looks cool

Nobody can steal your phone from your back pocket

Billows epically when you walk into the subway and there's a train there

Billows epically when there's wind

You look like a wizard

You feel like a wizard

I once had a pair of little kids come up to me and ask if I was a wizard

Doubles as a blanket if you get eepy

Put up the hood to look mysterious

Hood fits over headphones

Hood fits over big hoop earrings (I don't have these but it's still a bonus)

Perfect if your sleeves are too puffy to fit into your coat

Great for people who have sensory issues with sleeves

Great conversation starter

Great weekend project (if you sew it yourself, which is probably cheaper)

Really warm in the winter (if you use wool fabric)

Keeps the sun off in the summer (if you use a lighter fabric)

SO MUCH FREE SPACE FOR EMBROIDERY

There is a good chance it will boost your self-confidence

Pretty sure it'll do the same with your self-esteem

(Nothing in this life is certain, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something)
