Not an Inverness cape, so ...what is it?

[kevinkinney]

OK,

I'm all over this one. I like the extra length. My pet gripe about a regular cape is that I shoot with a classic double in nasty weather. This would solve that problem.

Don't forget the Dickson Round Action 12 bore!

A matched pair,surely!

It's not relevant to the current discussion, but I just finished re-reading Whisky Galore. It's nice to see a picture of Sir Compton in full fig!

I was hoping you would chime in once it was identified as a shooting cape.
Since I brought it up, can I have dibs on a prototype?
Seriously -


Of course, if you do make these, now I'll have to make up my mind between a Storm Cape and a Hunting Cloak.

[pdcorlis]

Yeah Kevin - can't wait to see what you come up with!

[Jack Daw]

But then why put bottons on the front of the thing if there are no sleeves or armholes?? How could you even button it up without help from a friend. Weird garment. Guessing our historical experts have an answer...please....??

In case of accident, the victim can be easily bound up for hospital or morgue.

GREAT CAPE. As a "shooter" That is the 1st cape I have seen, that "makes sence"I am already invisioning how it would work with my FLINTLOCK Double,Single & Rifle.
KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY !

Okay. I'll admit it. I want one, too. And a brace of 20 bore Dickson's.

[McMurdo]

Although I have a wonderful Inverness Cape, I must admit this idea intrigues me to no end, if this is going to be something I can lay my hands on I certainly will.

[Howard Clark]

Well there you go Kevin. Prototype already spoken for (so the R&D is paid work), and at least four in line. I'd go for one of those as well.

And though I do appreciate fine double guns, my hunting choices are more modern in nature.
