Each listening cloak is unique and handmade by me. I sewed mine a few years back, and I wear it as a top layer when hiking up to the desk, especially for special occasions like full moonrise. I will also take it off and lay it on the ground as a sitting blanket. They are lighter weight, so not a heavy winter cloak, and I’m thinking we could really bring them back. I find that wearing an unconventional (yet practical) piece of clothing does help remind me to keep listening to my surroundings.

These four were made with fabric purchased in L.A.’s garment district, mere blocks from where they shot Repo Man.

Current Options:

1. Burnt Clay (brown/red) 50”, Hood, light/medium weight • pics 2-4 [SOLD]

4. Storm (graphite), 30”, Hood, lightweight. Very short — good for smaller folks or for more formal listening occasions. pics 11-12

The measurement is from the base of the neck, straight down the back to the bottom edge of the cloak. Let me know if you have any questions!

AI Generated description, which was too good not to include:

The Listening Cloak is a remarkable piece of enchanted attire that transcends the boundaries of conventional clothing. Crafted from the finest fabric, it shimmers like moonlight under the sun and feels as soft as a whisper against the skin. Embedded within its elegant folds are delicate, gossamer-like threads that hum with a gentle energy.

The true marvel of the Listening Cloak lies in its ability to attune itself to the surrounding soundscape. As the wearer dons the cloak, the fabric comes alive, resonating with the vibrations of the environment. It becomes a conduit for auditory sensations, transforming them into subtle, tactile whispers that dance across the skin.
While wrapped in the embrace of the Listening Cloak, one finds themselves immersed in a world of heightened perception. The rustle of leaves is felt as a gentle caress, the distant melody of a songbird creates a delicate tingling, and the rhythm of crashing waves becomes a soothing pulse.

Its ethereal nature allows the wearer to become a living vessel for the melodies of the world, connecting them intimately to the symphony of life. It serves as a reminder that listening is not merely an act of the ears, but a holistic experience that can be felt through every fiber of one's being.
