An occurrence where a character uses a piece of stray cloth as a weapon. The cloth used can vary from blankets to bags with towels getting special mention, as they're a convenient illustration of Can't Bathe Without a Weapon. The cloth can be used in a number of ways. In the most benign uses, the cloth can be used to capture or blind an enemy. More agile characters may even use the cloth to capture a weapon and disarm their opponent. More sinister characters can use the cloth as a makeshift garrote or even a hangman's noose. More straightforwardly, sufficiently strong cloth could be used as a whip. A type of fighting style that is not seen often, but does show up in some movies or TV shows. Overlaps with either Improvised Weapon or Improbable Weapon User. A Sister Trope to Clothing Combat. The Master of Threads, who manipulates cloth or fabric as a superpower, is a few steps up from this. Examples |

Once in GLOW, T&A (Tina Ferrari and Ashley Cartier) had a "Texas Bar Room Brawl" with Hollywood And Vine. At one point in the match, T&A had some kind of large cloth and they wrapped their opponents up in it, forcing them to Catfight each other to get out. | |

Robotnik tells him that he made his cape out of a special material which wraps itself around Sonic. Sonic manages to break out of it by vibrating really fast. | |

Ranma ½: Ranma once used a tablecloth to block Shampoo's sight of her and escape; Pantyhose Taro used his own cloak to hide his kicks and punches until Ranma tore it away. In a more direct form of the trope, one of the deadliest attacks of the Umisenken form of the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial arts uses a bath towel to completely cover the head and neck of the opponent, then simultaneously asphyxiate and strangle them with their own weight. That same school's final attack involves stuffing a gigantic bath towel with debris from the battlefield and burying the opponent with it. | |

In Bleach, during his fight with Coyote Stark, Kyoraku throws his captain's coat over his head. This isn't just to blind him. His powers allow him to weaponize various children's games, including increasing his attack power depening on the color he is wearing, both dealing and taking more damage the more he is wearing of the specific color he calls out. Without his captain's haori, he is dressed all in black, allowing him to deal massive damage to Starrk, leading to the latter's death. | |

Chronicles of Amber: Near the end of Corwin's series of books Corwin is disorientated after traveling to the Courts of Chaos. One of the greatest knights of Chaos spots Corwin and challenges him to a formal duel. Corwin unceremoniously pulls his cape over the guy's head and stabs him while the guy is disentangling himself. Near the end of the first book, Corwin formed a partnership with his brother Bleys with the intent of overthrowing another brother of theirs, Eric. During the attempt to seize the capital, Bleys is mentioned to have given a masterful display of swordsman against hundreds of foes, using every possible trick imaginable, including using his cloak to distract them, parry blows, and entangle foes. |

The Legend of Tian-ding have the titular protagonist using his long, red sash for entangling enemies and throwing them around with expert ease. Said sash is crucial in the boss fight against Kaguya, a kunoichi, since Tian's sash can interrupt her non-stop Teleport Spam allowing her to take damage. | |

Fengshen Yanyi: one of Nezha's many (but less used) weapons is the Heavenly-Muddling Damask, a long red sash that he used to defeat Ao Bing. When cast in the air, it casts flames at the intended victim. Lady Shiji also has two cloth-based treasures, the Eight Trigrams Precious Cloud Sash she uses to subdue Li Jing and the Eight Trigrams Dragon Beard Sash which she tries to use against Taiyi Zhenren, failing in the attempt. | |

Happens a few times in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with towels. The notable example that springs to mind is when Ford is in freefall and manages to land on a giant talking bird. The bird is inclined to drop him, but Ford wraps his multipurpose towel around its head. The bird is now sightless, but Ford points out that he can still slowly fly down to the ground. | |
