SHORT CAPE

BASE PRICE: 1000 SEK
CUSTOMER PRICE: ON REQUEST

For all shapes, ages & sizes

A short cape that provides warmth, perfect for riding, walking and hiking.

This cape is based on an 19th century design and goes well with everything! The cape is relatively lightweight and won’t cause any strain on your shoulders and keeps you warm no matter what you’re doing.

Uniquely you

This cape is unique in that you get to decide what goes into it.

FABRIC

There is a wide assortment of fabrics available for this cape in all sorts of colours and patterns. And hey – if you have a specific look in mind and you can’t find what you want out of the materials I offer, we’ll sort something out in order for you to get your perfect cape! The fabrics all have their pros/cons, so make sure to take a look at the Fabrics & Materials page to figure out which suits your needs. The page also lists all the prices per meter, so that you can plan your budget accordingly. The available materials for this skirt are:

Polar fleece, recycled wool, patterned recycled wool, mottled recycled wool, patterned wool mix, and fine wadmal. Garments made from wool have stitched edges (zigzag) along the bottom and any openings. Fleece garments have raw edges as these don’t fray.

COLLAR

This cape has two types of collars to choose from. You can also choose whether to have the collar lined with the main fabric or cotton or linen. This might be especially relevant if you want a wool cape but are sensitive to wool directly against your skin. Cotton and linen each have their pros/cons, so make sure to take a look at the Fabrics & Materials page to figure out which suits your needs.

Straight – A straight collar that can be worn standing or folded.
Curved – A curved, standing collar.

RIBBONS & CLASPS

The cape ties in the front, and there is a large variety of ribbons to choose from for every type of budget. Alternatively you could choose to close it with a clasp instead. See the Fabrics & Materials page for options under “RIBBONS” and “CLASPS”.

Note that Norsk Knäppning 50 & 60 aren’t available for cape closures – I can’t guarantee that they’re strong enough to hold up against wear and tear. There is a surprising amount of force put on the closure of a cape, even a short one. The clasps are tested to work well with the skirts, but I don’t have enough data to comfortably recommend them for capes.

When choosing clasps an extra one is always ordered, which is sent loose with your cape. You can squirrel the extra one away at home so you have one in case of an accident!

EMBROIDERY

Machine embroidered monograms are available as an add-on in various colours in several styles. See the Monograms page for more information. Do you have a custom request, such as a logo? Make sure to take a look at that page as well.

My designs are available in two variations; single colour (everything in one colour) and multicoloured (frame in one colour, text in another). However “Letter with Leaves” is only available in multicolour.

A perfect fit

Bespoke & made to measure for a perfect fit.

As I won’t personally be able to take your measurements, you need to watch this how-to-measure video to make sure that the measurements you send me are the exact ones that I need for your cape to fit as intended.
