Tegan's Large Cloak (Thick Coat Variant)

A voluminous cloak/coat worn by Tegan in medieval England, serving both practical protection against harsh weather and symbolic concealment during political intrigue. The heavy wool/homespun linen fabric was either her medieval provision (as a cloak) or her modern outerwear adapted (as a 'thick coat') to the harsh environments encountered. Noted for its coarse texture and enveloping folds, it plays a dual role in warmth and narrative shroud against unraveling plots.
