French Cape in Lieu of an Inverness??

[McFarkus]

I think it's a brilliant alternative to an Inverness and the price is right. I'd still like an Inverness in waxed cotton for rainwear.

That's what I get...each time I've called its been on a further back order. Guess if I'd ordered and waited it out might have had one.

Next time...

Looking forward to pics though, can't see much from the catalog pic.

Ron, if this does not work out, you could try Jas Townsend. they have a sharp looking Watch Cloak and even a ladies' cape that might serve. The Watch Cloak has a shoulder cape, but no hood. I can't tell from the photo whether it has arm slits, but presumably they are present and protected by the cape.

You could also keep wearing that gorgeous greatcoat... hopefully, it has not shrunk.

Wearing a cape with arm slits is a bit odd at first. Frequently I have a warm jacket or suit coat underneath, so my arms have some protection when they're out. When driving, you probably want to reach out through the front!

Matt will fix you up with one of Kevin's creations, or deal with the author himself.
