Strange prefix: "Iron-Shod Cloak"

Sounds plausible to me. Maybe iron plates have been stitched inside of the cloak? Or maybe iron wire has been weaved into the fabric?

@Robert - what I meant was that I don’t understand how the word “Shod” can be applied to a cloak in the English language.

‘shod’ is past tense/participle of the word ‘shoe’ - so ‘Iron-Shod’ suggests that a protective metal shoe or object has been placed on the end of something. This would be reasonable for a quarterstaff, for example; put a piece of iron on the business end of the staff, and now it is iron-shod. But it doesn’t make sense to “shoe” a cloak.
