Messing around at my local WallyWorld, I discovered a pretty inexpensive
option for making capes, without the fraying problem that most normal
fabric encounters.  They were selling square-foot pieces of variously
coloured felt for 20c each.  These make an ideal cape (when cut to size
of course) - it looks like a very heavy, warm woolen cloak, perfect for
travelers and such.

Pictures will follow at some point.

  hey, jeff ~
  i know exactly what you're talking about. ;-) i was able to get some of
this same felt, and it's wonderful!  i was very impressed with it's
durability and color matches to lego.  i loaded up on sheets in all the
colors, especially, an off-white (antique white) and dark grey for castle
period ship sails.  also, consider using the wagon cover from #6716 ~
weapons wagon as pattern to make covered wagons for gypsies and farmers.
also, little blankets for mini-fig beds.
