A cloak of elvenkind is of a plain neutral gray which is indistinguishable from any sort of ordinary cloak of the same color.

However, when it is worn, with the hood drawn up around the head, it enables the wearer to be nearly invisible, for the cloak has chameleon-like powers. 

In the outdoors, the wearer of a cloak of elvenkind is almost totally invisible in natural surroundings, nearly so in other settings. 

Note that the wearer is easily seen if violently or hastily moving, regardless of the surroundings. 

The invisibility bestowed is:

OUTDOORS, NATURAL SURROUNDINGS

OUTDOORS, OTHER

UNDERGROUND

Fully 90% of these cloaks are sized for human to elven-sized persons. The other 10% are sized for smaller persons (4-ft or so in height).
