DIY Inverness cape

[Steve Ashton]

I too prefer a Coachman's Cape made from wool to keep me warm, to an Inverness which is usually thought of as a raincoat.



As an aside - if the cape portion is elbow length it is called an Ulster coat. If the cape portion is as long as the sleeves it is known as a Coachman's Coat or cape. If the cape portion has multiple layers and are mid bicep length it is called a Carrick Cape.
Sherlock Holmes was portrayed as wearing an Ulster coat in the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but in an Inverness of Tweed plaid by the actor Basil Rathbone.
