By
▲A '''mistcloak''' is the cloak worn by [[Allomancer#Mistborn|Mistborn]] while traveling through the [[mist]]s in order to obscure their figure and so prevent them from being seen. It is a hooded garment made from a lightweight material, and consisted of ribbonlike strips of dark gray cloth sewn together at the shoulders and chest.{{book ref|mb1|5}} Mistcloaks are constructed to come free when pulled, so that they cannot be used against the wearer in combat.{{book ref|mb2|17}}

What I would be looking for is something enveloping, something grand, yet also much more light-weight than most of the ones that people have made. I know that Vin describes hers as heavy, but that's all relative.
But here's my best answer to your questions:
Colors: All the same shade of dark, charcoal gray. <br />
How wide are the strips: Between a half an inch and an inch wide. <br />
Material: Cotton, perhaps. Lighter than canvas or wool, for certain. However, I do imagine each tassel being sewn individually, perhaps with a thicker back and an inside that is of something softer and lightweight. <br />
Are all the tassels the same length: No, but close. Within an inch or two of one another. <br />
Do they drag: No. They're cut so that they obscure the feet, but don't drag. <br />
How many layers of tassels: 1 and a half.

▲By [[Mistborn Era 2]], the mistcloak has evolved into a '''mistcoat'''. [[Waxillium Ladrian]]'s, in particular, is a long, enveloping garment like a duster with a thick collar and cuffed sleeves, ankle-length and divided into strips from just above the waist.{{book ref|aol|1}}
