THE CLOAK |
| In THE TWO TOWERS, Gandalf came back as Gandalf the White. After meeting Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli in Fangorn Forest, Gandalf is seen walking out of the forest wearing an Elven Cloak from Lothlorien, of the same material as that worn by the other members of the Fellowship BUT having a different cutting. |
