It’s a shawl and brooch. It’s basically just a rectangular piece of cloth with a pin holding it together. If you wanted a slightly fancier version, you could try finding a serape/ruana instead. That’s the same rectangular piece of cloth, except it has a slit cut from one edge to the center. So it can drape over your shoulders instead of wrapping around them. Sort of like a poncho, except the cut goes all the way to the edge of the fabric instead of just being a neck hole.

  Sure, I guess. They originally got popular in Scotland and the americas for different reasons; Scotland because wearing a woolen blanket is nice and warm even when it’s wet and cold. The slit allows you to throw one side over your shoulders, turning it into a sort of scarf. You could use a brooch to keep it in place if it’s windy, but that’s largely optional:

  They were popular in parts of the americas for the exact opposite reason: Made out of thinner material, they’re great for keeping the sun and dust off of you. They’re basically a poncho, and after a long day of cattle driving you can roll it up and use it as a pillow for your bedroll.

  Also, Gandalf wears one. No, really. That’s not long sleeves on his robe, it’s a ruana. So apparently they’re good at making you look like a wizard.

    Didn’t have anything to add, just that this was a nice read.

I really want a poncho/ruana style thing to wear casually, but I just cannot seem to find one with a style that really tickles my fancy. I’ll wrap random blankets around me shawl sans brooch style, but they’re not really the style I’d want to go wear out and about.
