|<i>>>Yes, but what about items that produce a "magical" effect ie. a polo cloak?</i>

First, let's make sure we're on the same page with the words we're using, since in DR we screw with some common definitions.

Magic: Manipulating mana streams to produce supernatural effects.
Magical: Related to magic as defined above.

Not everything that produces a supernatural effect is necessarily magical, but much of it is. It really depends on each individual item, and how its creator conceives it. For your specific example, [[polo cloak]]s are magical. Your friendly neighborhood magic user can help confirm this:

<i>>focus cloak<br/>
You focus your magical senses on an azure-scaled poloh'izh hide cloak.<br/>
You sense very strong, unidentifiable magic coursing through the cloak.</i>

A counter example would be [[soulstone]]s, a supernatural material that has nothing to do with magic.
