Poll Closed: Default for cloaks being open or closed

[FantasyWriter]

The item's mdesc.

I think the mdesc isn't comprehensive enough at all times.  Many do not clearly say 'this should be able to be closed' or 'this shouldn't be able to be closed' in the mdesc.

How are we supposed to know which ones should and which ones shouldn't?

Keep bugging the ones that don't open, the staff will sort the rest out.

Most do have a belt, belt loops, buttons or toggles in the mdesc, though. (a -way- of closing them)

Common sense?

Common sense?

Doesn't always work.

edit: actually here's an example

can't be closed:
This dark-hooded cloak is the type most often used by those who do not
wish to be recognized, as it perfectly conceals the face when worn.  Made of
a cheap, stiff fabric, the cut is roomy and there are no details other than
straight seams and a sheer economy of work.

can be closed:
Made of thread-bare linen, this cloak was once uniformly dark grey.  Now
it is a splotched affair of stained black and lighter shades.  Dried
smears of blood and gore make the linen stiff and emanate a decaying,
nauseating stench.

How are we supposed to know which ones should and which ones shouldn't?

Certainly if you find someone else wearing one that is closed.  Otherwise use common sense.

Maybe I'm a little lost (i don'ts reads good) Couldn't you just try "close cloak" and if the cloak that didn't close "seemed" like it should close, email it to the mud fo' review?
