Duelling Cloak Cloth

"None under the sun had questioned his strength, the man with the golden blade.
The golden blade could cut through steel and stone the same, and made fools of anyone who would question the man's authority.
It had taken humble Renais, the man of the South, to come to Aberwaynian soil,
to put an end to the man's golden legacy.
His first, and only defeat, 
held by the hands of cloth and simple steel," 

- Quote from 'Cloak and Dagger', a centuries old poem. 

The Cloak and Dagger fighting style involves the usage of, due to the naming, a cloak and a dagger. Whilst the important element of the fighting style is the dagger - the only method to defeating an opponent - the cloak is what makes the fighting style unique. Without it, the duelist simply holds a common, often boring blade. The cloak is used to disorient the opponent, hiding strategic moves, or redirecting the attacks done by the opponent to create openings. Most simple weapons can be diverted by strikes from the weapon. 

Whilst the cloak and dagger fighhting style in Aberway represents duelling, the man of myth, Renais, was rumoured to have been an assassin, or some sort of gentleman thief. The cloak, with its original cloth coming from more southern lands, likely Maisin, was said to be thick enough to avoid severe strikes from clubs, spears and swords, whilst being light enough to be carried by a simple warrior like Renais. Renais' actions, regardless on if they were fictional or not, was capable of inspiring many people of lower classes to take up duelling, a contact sport that used to be reserved for the nobles and the elite. The cloak and dagger fighting style represents the common man. 
 
If there were to be a specific kind of cloth used for creating these cloaks, it must be thick enough to avoid these attacks. Whatever is used by these duelists must be light enough to travel in, for the average duelist does not compose of muscles and brawn, but rather guile and simplicity.
