James McMillan's New Inverness cape

Here is the Inverness style cape I made for Jay.
What do you think?
The color is off. It's actually black with maroon lining, made of Pendleton wool rwill.

It is the Butterick Sherlock Holmes costume pattern ,with some revisions, like taking out the sleeves, adding a half lining, and pocket slits. The bad news is that pattern is out of production, so you have to do some searching to find it.
