Frodo’s Green Cloak
I’m re-reading The Hobbit and found myself at this passage in chapter 2:
“That's how they all came to start, jogging off from the inn one fine morning just before May, on laden ponies; and Bilbo was wearing a dark-green hood (a little weather-stained) and a dark-green cloak borrowed from Dwalin. They were too large for him, and he looked rather comic. What his father Bungo would have thought of him, I daren't think. His only comfort was he couldn't be mistaken for a dwarf, as he had no beard.”
Does this connect to Frodo’s cloak and hood in Fellowship? At least in the films, where he is known quite well by his dark green attire. Were these clothes once worn by a Mountain-bound Bilbo, and originally came from Dwalin?
