Fabric for a robe.

How well does it flow when you walk and in the wind?

Oh and stay away from any flannel type material. after a while it will ball up and look like poo.

If ya want accuracy its melton wool. a cotton or cotton twill is a good alternative if ya live in a hot area and wool and heat you will end up cooling in the thing.

especally if your wearing many layers under it like the jedi do.

It has a nice flow to it, as it isn't a very heavy material. The hood has a tendency to fall off in the wind, and when walking fast, but I like it anyway. My other robe is made from cotton flannel, and it still looks pretty good, even after 3 years of use.

Nice. Are you a member of the Jedi Assembly?

Yeah the hood thing seems to happen all the time. what alot of people do is take a curved brush of somesort and have it sown into the hood. but in a place where it cant be seen when the hood is down.

Nope. Just the Rebel Legion!
