Waxed Cotton Cape

Description

What better to wear in the rain than a waxed cotton Cape also called Oilskin Cape? It is the perfect garment to cover your up for a showery day.

This waxed cotton cape works well to wear over a blouse or jumper, but it’s great to get a size bigger if you need a cover-up for when you are wearing your work suits.

Furthermore, this waxed cotton is wonderful. Pure cotton, woven and treated in Dundee by the traditional company established in 1864. Halley Stevenson’s cloth and productions are still the leading in the world… how amazing to have this on your doorstep?

I have been thrilled to work with it.

It’s a fitted bodice, think gilet or body warmer, made in the oilskin and then with the cape piece sitting over, and a nice collar. This way you have room for your suit jacket sleeves if you wish.

The cape is lined with antistatic lining, the colour of your choice and it has matching buttons.

The Cape has inspiration from trench coats, developed for the military in the actual trenches. It has top stitching on all the seams to give it that sharp look.

The Cape looks equally good with jeans as it does with skirt, blouse or a dress. Its perfect if you need to wear a suit jacket to work, as the cape can be worn on top of a suit jacket as an outer garment, finish off with nice gloves.

The cape is made to order, so you can chose any colour you like and if you would like to add details like pockets or similar. Please just let us know and we will try and accommodate.
