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.
How many layers of tassels: 1 and a half.
The real trick, I think, to making one work would be to, in my opinion, make a cloak which looks cool on its own. Then, slit the bottom 2/3rds up to about the rib-cage area. Sew these into tassels, then sew some more tassels to the inside. Then, perhaps work with the shoulders/inner layers to make the cloak fall down so that it looks enveloping and the sides can fall straight.

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}}
