Loki has curly hair that he straightens because he was told the curls were unruly and not elegant. I will not budge on this hill.

I was trying to google why dolls have those pieces of plastic in the back of their heads as part of their packaging and, uh…apparently people are having a bad time out there!

Omg, the green fabric is felt!!

Wool felt I assume—that makes sense for an Asgardian!

I assume so (can you felt other fabrics?). But I had just assumed it was some light and drapey synthetic for the costume. But this makes such a difference to the way it would hang and move. And it would make it so much heavier to wear.

Ahh yeah, you’re right, they probably didn’t use actual wool for the costume. But in-universe it could be wool! (Apparently archaeologists have found wool felt from Viking times, which is neat whether the costume designers were aware of that or not.)

A woollen cloak / cape definitely makes far more sense from a practical point of view. It would keep the wearer warm and drier than other alternatives. And I've never thought about practicality before for Asgardian clothing, but as you say this is a really nice touch.

Now I wonder if Thor’s cape was also a heavy wool?

And according to the Thor 1 novelization Loki isn’t a fan of being cold, and in the series he doesn’t seem to like being wet (even uses magic to get dry), so that fits nicely.

Good question!
