Welcome to the "amp"ed up Pyrate!
-
A belligerent welcome!

yeah - a cloak requires 5-6 yards. Even if you can find $20yd wool its still $100+ for materials. I opted to just make a heavy coat (maybe with optional shoulder cape). but again, we'll see what the wool looks like when it arrives. I've not had good luck buying what was advertised as "coat weight wool" online. So, short of a trip to the L.A. garment district I dont have any wool suppliers. And yet to go the route of Burnley/Trowbridge or Booth/Draper due to limited selection and high price. I had a charcoal gray civil war greatcoat that I swapped buttons on and was passable for early 18th century. Kick myself for letting it go.

Ha Ha, I'm not a fan of ironing either, but I have to do it when I'm making clothing. Not an expert on women's clothing, but it looks like others I have seen. Looking forward to seeing the finished product! I rarely see wool fabric in person, partly cause I'm in Arizona and it is such a crapshoot buying wool online. After giving up on the cloak I started (wool was just too thin to look right and be warm) I realized I still dont have a warm coat so I bought some coat weight wool on eBay. We'll see when it gets here, but I'm thinking long overcoat for the relatively few events that might be cold.

It will also be a major part of the celebrations to mark the 750th year of Amsterdam itself. In August 2025 the 10th edition of this 5 yearly event returns Sail Amsterdam is a huge draw for Amsterdammers and visitors alike. Hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to the river to see the sail and tall ships festoned in all their glory. A piece of history sailing by to celebrate the birthday of Amsterdam.
