This item appears to be a normal cloak, but when it is worn by a character its magical properties distort && warp light waves.

This displacement of light waves causes the wearer to appear to be
from 1‘ to 2’ from his or her actual position. Any attack by missile or melee
strike which is aimed at the wearer will automatically miss the first time*.
Thereafter the cloak affords +2 protection, i.e. 2 classes better on armor
class, as well as +2 on saving throw dice versus attack forms directed at
the wearer (such as spells, gaze weapon attacks, spitting and breath attacks, etc. which are aimed at the wearer of the cloak of displacement).
Note that 75% of all cloaks of displacement are sized for humans or elves
(persons 5’ to 6’ or so tall), and but 25% are sized for persons of about 4‘
height (dwarves, gnomes, halflings).

* This can apply to first attacks from multiple opponents only if the
second and successive attackers were unable to observe the initial displacement
miss.

ADQ: Is the protection afforded by a 
Cloak of Displacement cumulative w| 
armor? 
ADA: YES.
