Default Cloak TL?

This is really picky, I know...

In Basic, a cloak is listed as TL1 (p275 in the Muscle-Powered Ranged Weapon table, p287 in the Shield Table). In Low-Tech, it is listed as TL0 in the clothing section (p99) which mentions its use for a Block; costs and weights don't quite match either.

I'm not sure of the best interpretation. One would be that at TL0, cloaks exist and can be used to Block, but aren't well enough made to gain the other benefits of a shield (i.e Defensive Bonus) or to permit grappling, until TL1.

I'm trying to stay as close as possible to RAW for a particular project...

Thanks,

Paul.
