Bleach Attire Guide - Captain's Cloak

Worn by: Soul Reaper Captains: Shigekuni Genryusai, Soifon, Retsu Unohana, Byakuya Kuchiki, Sajin Komamura, Syunsui Kyoraku, Toushiro Hitsugaya, Kenpachi Zaraki, Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Jushiro Ukitake

The Cloak is a white sheet which rests on the shoulders and drapes down to just below knee height. The cloak is a symbol that the Soul Reaper is a Captain, and that he/she commands his/her own Division of Soul Reapers. Only Captains are alotted to wear this cloak and no other.

Each cloak has a design, using a pattern of black strips and dots running along the bottom of the cloak. And centerised on the back of the cloak, between the shoulders is a black outlined diamond shape which holds a number in the middle. This number shows which Division the Captain leads. Some of the Captain's cloaks may have longer sleeves reaching all the way down to their hands, but this is just a personnal preferance which that Captain chose.
