Which waterproof fabric is best?

@[email protected]

I have discovered cloaks, and I am going nuts making them. I have bought so much fabric in the past few days alone. They are so warm and so easy to make! However, I would like to make one that suits the purpose for which they were invented, so that I may wear it outside in the rain. Are there any good waterproof fabrics that won’t fuck up my fiancée’s #sewing machine?

Asking here because I don’t know what I am doing.

    @[email protected] @[email protected] @Shkshkshk I made a full-circle cloak of 24-ounce-per-yard navy blue wool that I washed and dried before cutting. It sheds rain and snow quite well. After about a decade of regular use in all conditions and locations, it’s still going strong. The cost, of course, is the weight, but the wearer loves it. It’s not about the right product; it’s about the right product for you.
