Stunning. Gorgeous. Perfect. Brand-new capes made for the French Alpine Corps. The French version of Austrian/German Loden. Five and a half pounds of thick boiled virgin wool. Bulletproof, and for all practical purposes, waterproof. They have a hood large enough to fit over a helmet. Buttoned side slits to stick your arms out, for sighting or shooting. Big, rounded polished aluminum buttons, you can grasp with gloved hands, lined across the shoulder, for additional strength. We have this cape in size: “2” & "4". Looks like an elegant navy blue evening coat for the girls. And yes, all of our female employees have already scored theirs! The length from neck to bottom of skirt for size 2 is about 45” and the full width of the skirt is 72”. Size 4?... well it's much bigger. Large enough, so when you sit or squat, that the cape forms a tent, down to the ground, to keep you really warm. Yeah, I know it isn’t winter, but you know what the Boy Scout motto is!
