Capes

**Kilted KT** · 3rd May 06, 10:52 AM

being 21oz. wool, how waterproof would these be? If adequately waterproof, I'd be all over it.

what is your expected time from order to shipment?

oh, mine would definitly be black.

I'd be interested in black with a gray lining.

Imagine a peacoat. I don't think the "normal" cape, as opposed to nylon or somesuch, is considered a rain coat.

Thanks for the interest gents. Black & charcoal look like the winners, with maybe brown. Order to shipment would be the same as kilts, 4-6 weeks. Just playing it safe.

sounds fantastic. When are you going to start taking orders?

I'll have my swatches by the end of the week, so maybe on the weekend or early next week.

Any interest in the 14oz from anyone, or would the preferance be for the 21oz?

My preferance would the 21 oz. one. I would be wearing this during funeral services. Standing at ease for 20 minutes or so in December while kilted gets a little on the cool side.

Let me swim against the tide and say that I'd be intersted in a 14 oz.

Actually, I'd have to see swatches of both, but I'm not dismissing it out of hand. You never know what you really need in such a garment.

I may have to consider an extra long one, for when I am in cassock and not kilt!

Standard length seems to be mid calf from most places. I'll make them custom length. Actually, completely custom. Seems from an older thread, some guys may prefer them to be somewhat shorter, maybe at the kilt-line, maybe just slightly longer.

December in Georgia cool?

the basis for my request is usability in the wilds of the forests. While I would love one for formal occasions, actual functionality in a storm is what I'm looking for.

can you post a pic of what your design will look like? maybe a pattern or image of one similar to what you are making?
