<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9588123, member: 10944"]I seriously did consider trying to put it on. Just for S’s&G’s though. Certainly not to document it. However you’d actually need two people to help you put it on. Despite being so heavy the fabric is extremely thin and fragile. There is already a few tears. I suspect from being picked up and handled without care. I may have even caused one or more. You don’t realize how much weight is going to pull on certain points until you’ve moved it around in your hands a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>you’re right that it’s not a robe in the sense we would typically think ok. I just didn’t know what else to call it. I’m sure it has a name, whatever it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: shawl maybe? As far as an English term goes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
