Tombstone Val Kilmer / Doc Holliday Costume

[joberg]

The Val photo, definitely has an extra coat. Great demo with the lines JohnHolliday .

The part that made it difficult for me was the last manny photo was displayed in such a way as to make it look like the cape WAS sleeves because it has been tucked purposely to wrap around the wrists. But, no actual suit jacket is present in the manny photo:

But, it does make it clear to me (sorry for coming to this party so late) that the long overcoat has armholes. The manny arms are through the long coat but under the cape, yes?

If the outfit at the bottom has all the same pieces as Val's photo..... I am right back to no sleeves unless they are completey hidden in the manny photo.

I know that, sometimes, people have mixed-up the cloak vs. the cape. But, a cloak can be part of a coat (not/or detachable) and thus the coat sleeves are there in the first place. No slits for that coat. It's a one piece garnement. Some were designed to have a detachable cloak, but for this one, it's not the case. Many times, especially for men, the cloak's length is the same as the sleeves' length...hence the confusion trying to see if there's sleeves or not. It's an extra protection against the elements. It could be flipped easily over both shoulders to cool down the wearer easily. The English Navy has a "cloak cape" a little longer than the one Kilmer wears (dropping below the buttocks)...
