Reminds me that people used to wear wool cloaks. They're so warm you can sleep in them in cold climates and rain rolls off it.

I've looked around a bit and it runs in the hundreds of euros.

I've read that in the southeastern states, Spanish moss was used like wool, also for thread and upholstery. But it doesn't get nearly as cold down there 😆

You put it best there, I live in a part of the United States that gets over 100 degrees during the summer time, which would challenge a cloak idea sadly

I wish I could find a pic

But I did just read that it can be used to make swamp coolers! I always do that with a towel and a bucket.
