About The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, a shy young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he alone holds the secret to the survival--or enslavement--of the entire world. Now Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves.

Several years ago, my family gifted me a gray wool fellowship hobbit cloak from the same company that made the NZ gray wool fellowship cloaks for the movie (Stansborough), and I have cherished and worn it during the winter on several occasions while teleworking or just hanging around the house. It kept me warm and stayed on my shoulders (whereas my blanket didn’t lol). I’ve been a huge fan of the LOTR and Hobbit books and movies for decades, so that cloak became one of my most beloved possessions. I have a few other LOTR items I had bought over the years, like the silver chain that Frodo wore on his neck, and the ring itself (with elven lettering that glows bright gold), that I also cherish very much too. I do have a bit of a collectors obsession when it comes to buying replicas and props from my most favorite book/movie series and shows…🥴❤️

I actually kinda want to hear how she would have made Sarumans costume if it was book accurate. As the text says when Gandalf describes it "I looked then and saw that his robes, which had seemed white, were not so, but were woven of all colours, and if he moved they shimmered and changed hue so that the eye was bewildered." It nothing else it would be interesting to see if it was possible to make without making it look ridicules on screen.
