Fell & Fair

This was an essential garment on my last voyage to Quetico Provincial Park. It will be a staple every time I go camping. At 85% wool, it is an incredibly underrated piece of fabric. It was wide enough to blanket myself and another person over our sleeping bags, keeping us warm in windy, fifty-degree weather. As thin as it is — thinner than the 60% wool option in forest green — it still blocked the wind and the rain. I sat outside for almost an hour in moderate rain and only got wet where my back was pressed against the chair. In other words, you will stay completely dry and warm while standing. Rain will stick on the outside and may even pool where there’s a a fold, but the inside will remain dry.

I have spent the last few months researching the details of wool manufacturing and sampling other products. This is by far the best cloak you can buy.

The clasp is at a good height, and I recommend tying it loose. I fastened mine with a modified sheepshank knot, which made the neck wide enough to don and doff without having to retie it.

This is not a light fabric compared to modern lightweight rain coats, but due to its versatility — and how cool it looks — the tradeoff for weight might be worth it on long backpacking trips, and definitely worthwhile for camping or bushcraft, survival-type voyages. It’s very durable, and can be rolled and fastened to the outside of a pack.

The fabric cleans easily; pine needs and dirt would sometimes catch on the hem but would easily dust off. I didn’t notice any tics or spiders collecting on this while navigating through portages or traipsing through thick brush, and it was, of course, thick enough to block the mosquitos. After seven days in the woods, it did not tear, pick up any odor, or show any wear. The creases from being rolled easy fall out.

I’m glad I got the regular length (I’m about 6’ tall in boots). A longer length would be nice for covering lower legs or shoes while sitting, but I think it would drag and pick up a lot of ‘nature’ while hiking.

The customer service with this merchant is incredible. Brenda readily answered all of our questions, offered additional pictures for sample color, and provided detailed options for custom tailoring. I didn’t need anything customized, but her insight was very helpful. This cloak well worth the price. The quality is incredible, and it’s probably the most useful outerwear garment I own

Very nice construction. I am looking forward to wearing it with my short sleeve mail haubergeon and getting slain at Fulford by marauding Norwegians

Fits well, comfortable, nice color

Exactly what I was looking for. Delivery was quick and the Ailette are very well made.

I thought I would be helpful to anyone else out there in the market for a great cloak.

We halflings can find it hard to buy clothes and stuff because either things are too big or too small. I've been looking at the elite and the original cut waxed canvas ranger cloaks, unsure which may be what I'm looking for. I wanted full coverage, and ankle length. I got exactly that. For reference, I'm 5'5", roughly 155-165 depending on how many plates I got at dinner. So I'm not a big guy. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Also, the waxed canvas is seriously waterproof. I did a quick video of me standing in the rain as it was pouring down but for whatever reason I'm not able to include it here.

I honestly couldn't be happier with it.

So well made and works perfectly for my costume! Love it so much!

Perfect size and length linen feels great and is breathable great stitching

Wool is soft and super high quality very well made.

I had a great experience using fell and fair for some custom pieces. It took some back and forth to get what was in my head into a real buildable product and it looks great. Their storefront is great too, drove down to try a few things on just to confirm my sizes, but they have lots of things to look at and it’s definitely worth a trip! If you’re looking for great quality craftsmanship for some lightweight kit, don’t get something from Amazon, buy from these fine folks! I can’t recommend them enough!!

I love the color and it is breathable. I wear glasses and i can still wear it with them without fogging up my lenses.

Good material and fit

Fine craftsmanship! Has already been worn. Seams are well-stitched, fits like a glove!

No king but the king in Throi!

Amazing product! I absolutely love it, it’s perfect for my needs.

Absolutely love it. Light weight. Beautiful color. Fits perfectly. My favorite Viking apron now. Highly recommend
