That's OK, I hadn't either until less than a week ago. Now I consider myself an expert, at least on the attire.
This weekend is Supanova weekend in Perth and Sam wanted a Magicka robe. Fortunately he had done some research and found a very helpful little pattern so you can make one for yourself. And it's free! available here.
You might be wondering about the sausage on a stick. Please know this is an integral motif in the game, and everyone knows about that bit. Jeez.
I enjoyed making this! It is actually a pretty good pattern and you end up with a rather excellent wizard's robe I reckon. The robe is a complete garment in itself under that hood, with an integrated chest plate piece that is joined inside the right front and snaps closed at the left shoulder seam: the hood does cover up the chest but the chest plate piece is a nice detail in that it does completely remove any slight risk that your undershirt might show. 
It was designed and the instructions written by someone who does know what they are talking about, like the hood and sleeves are fully lined. For some reason the sleeves are called "arms" in this pattern. The instructions are aimed at the beginner. I'm basing that assumption on directions like "Hint! Fold the fabric in two, so you can cut two of each piece in one go!"
At the same time, my view is that some of the steps are not explained in full enough detail for a complete beginner, for example the instructions for inserting the contrasting edging strip in the hood opening would be a little confusing for a beginner, and some of the illustrations are in the wrong spot to go with the accompanying sewing directions. Also, when drawing up your pattern pieces a few measurements are missing. No biggie, you can still work it out, it's not rocket science. But just saying.
At first I thought it might be designed for a small person, like a kid, as a Halloween costume or something; and it might not fit my six foot two son. So did a few quick measurements, and yes indeedy this is a wizarding robe designed to fit a full sized, and tall, adult man. O-kaayy!
I used panne velvet, navy blue polyacetate for the hood and sleeve lining and gold satin for the edging, all fabrics from Spotlight.
After rolling out the first 2.5m we saw the fabric was sliced completely off from selvedge to selvedge, and had been joined together again with multiple little plastic joiner ties. Yep I'm talking full price, untouched on the roll, straight from the factory, fabric here. We're not talking about a remnant. I knew I could easily cut the big skirt pieces from that first bit so I told the girl I would still take that as part of my whole .... "are you sure?" she asked, clearly horrified, but I assured her it would be ok. She continued rolling out and next thing we came across huge holes in the fabric. Holes. Like big holes, easily 2 inches across and boom! right in the middle. The first one she said, oh, I'll just give you that bit, but by the next one, she was looking doubtful again, and I was starting to think twice too. After the third hole popped up she just offered to give me the entire roll, for the price of 6m; the quantity I had asked for. So far I've only just seen those three holes, spaced about a metre apart from each other.
I'm not dissing Spotlight here, after all they can't check all their rolls of fabric and the staff at Spotlight are always very good about giving you extra and/or discounts when there are imperfections in the fabrics. But damn! that fabric was in a bad way!
And I now have masses of ultramarine blue panne velvet. Yay. I have zero idea what I'm going to do with it. Sheets? haha.
