Cape

A cape is a sleeveless outer garment which hangs loosely from one or both shoulders of the wearer, falling behind them to cover a length of their back. Typically, it is fastened around the neck but smaller designs of capes like those worn by the Assassins Ezio Auditore, Evie Frye, and Jacob Frye may be designed to hang only from one shoulder. While some capes may afford minimal protection, they are mainly worn as a fashion symbol or like a personalized banner displaying the wearer's allegiances. In this regard, they differ from cloaks which tend to be heavier, offer greater insulation against the elements, and cover more of the individual's body.
