Warm and Woolly

Temperatures are dropping here as Thanksgiving has passed and Christmas bells will soon be ringing. Each year in our town, we celebrate the season with downtown merchants staying open late, carriage rides on Main Street, mulled cider, chocolates, and other Yuletide frivolities with many locals in Victorian Era dress. I too, shall be attending in fine form, and warm as toast with this Inverness Cape to keep the cold at bay and present an appropriately attired image. I'm very happy with my new cape as well as all of my purchases from your establishment!

excellent product

a tad longer than expected. The one size fits all is ok, but I may have it tailored. But overall i am very happy with the purchase

Inverness Cape Gray

I'm what is known as a serial kilter . Which simply means if I'm not at work I'm in a kilt. The cape I bought will be a great addition to my outfits in the winter when it gets cold here in Ohio and I'll still look stylish and look even better once I remove it. It's very pleased with the quality and it was worth the price. Be ordering from you soon.

Terrific Warm Layer

I purchased this not for historical purposes but as a layering option. We've had a few cold days so far here in southern Wisconsin, and the Inverness Cape has performed very well. It's quite warm, and though I was worried about sizing since it's a one-size garment, it fits me well. Even generously; I'm 6'0" with 34-inch sleeves and the cape falls just above my wrists and mid-calf. I've worn it over a collared shirt and over a fleece hoodie, and I'm confident that it will fit over a heavier coat as well. The one criticism I'd offer is that the front of the cowl is liable to blowing open in the wind. A button to secure the cowl in front would be a convenient addition, though possibly not historically faithful to the garment as worn originally. I might work with a tailor to add some method of securing the cowl against the wind. But that's a minor point; I would still buy this cape again and I'm quite happy with the purchase.

A very nice, heavy cape.

I purchased this to for Dickens on the Strand this December, and to take with me to Scotland but it was more than I needed for Scotland. I look forward to wearing it this winter.
