Family I & 2.1: Kader HK (Kenner)

• Rough textured fabric
• Small or medium sized hoods. I can’t see a pattern to specific cardbacks, so I’ll just put it down to the handmade element of these garments
• The folds at the base of the hood tend to overlap, creating a smaller hood aperture
• Shorter arm length
• Stitch colours tend to be muted shades of brown
• I noticed smaller hoods appearing around the later Kader cards

Family 2.2: Kader China (Kenner)

• Smooth and stretchy polyester cotton
• Very small hoods
• Shorter arm length
• Stitch colours tend to be shades of dark brown

Family 3: Unitoy HK + Poch

• Rough textured fabric – same as the Kader HK cloaks
• Large hoods. The folds at the base of the hood tend NOT to overlap.
• A longer arm length and generally baggy fit to the Unitoy cloak
• Stitch colours can vary greatly due to the uneven production control at the Unitoy plant. Often a cloak can have muted browns on the exterior sections and brighter colours on the hidden under-stitching.
• This cloak is found occasionally with the material reversed inside-out, exposing the ribbed texture from the reverse side of the material. This is a factory error and not a variant.
• Rare early Unitoy examples were produced with a white tag inside, labelled “MADE IN HONG KONG”
• This cloak type was exported (along with unpainted figure parts) to Spain to create their early line of Poch figures.

Family 3: Lili Ledy

• Heavy cotton material
• Most commonly found with a removable hood. A very rare LL Jawa cloak with a “stitched” hood can also be found.
• Light and dark brown stitch colours
