Question

Sheila P-Burg — Sun, 20 Oct 2019 18:05:01 GMT

I have a curious question. I was looking at the video again for the Berkshire cape and noticed when the camera showed a certain angle of one of the windows in the presentation room. It looked like there was snow on the ground. I noticed this in a couple of other videos also. Has it already showed on that side of the state. Just curious .... having a nose problem today!!!I

And, I know this subject has been beat to death, but I have looked at the Berksire video several times and I just can't make a decision. I am not trying to be mean and I apologize if I come across that way BUT the host (Shawn) keeps jumping around with the cape like Batman and then the other host came in with that toboggan (?) on her head and the two of them start talking drawing my attention away from the cape.

I realize this Christmas show was meant to be for fun and several of you enjoyed it. We all have different taste and likes/dislikes. I watch the different presentations for the merchandise. No other reason. If I am watching it is because I am interested in buying. Theatrics and rolling your eyes or dancing is not going to convince me to buy. Give me the details and a show of the product and tell me the pros/cons of the product. As I have said before I am not young. I do not want to waste my time on buying something to have to return it because I did not have a clear "picture" of what I was buying.

Maybe the next time QVC wants to have a "slumber party" they would consider having products more in line with a "fun" and "happy party" theme. That way for those of us that are only interested in the merchandise and not a "party* could completely avoid watching and possibly avoid the "mean" comments. Just a suggestion.

I have the item number. I just can't see a good enough view. It would have been nice if someone had modeled the cape like they do the other clothing lines. After all, it is a cape. That is considered a type of clothing, right?

it is a 58" x 64" throw with a slit from one side to the middle. this allows for it to be worn over the shoulders and drap down the front. the front has two pockets.

this type of item has been around for a long time.

Only addressing your question about snow on the ground when looking out the windows, these are sets in the studio, what you see in the windows are just pictures.

Thank you! They do a really good job. Looking through the "window" the scenery looks so real. Very nice!

Question for TheMemphisVette ..... I am not familiar with this type of cape. Would it be warm enough for outside or just inside. I was looking for something to throw on when the temperature gets to 25/40 when I have to run out to get my mail.

I bought a Berkshire cape last year and when I saw the new plaid cape offered this year, I wished I had waited until this year to buy one because I like the plaid (mine is a solid color)! Anyway, I don’t know how weighty this year’s version is but mine from last year is very thick and heavy. But since I live in the Midwest it does keep me warm in the house in the winter when watching tv or reading. I could definitely throw it over my shoulders to run out to the mailbox and back but I would never wear it out and about because it looks like I draped a heavy blanket on me.

Those are back drops, not outside windows.

@Sheila P-Burg - I am not familiar with the cape you mentioned, but thanks to your post, I just Googled "toboggan" and discovered that although I've only ever known that word to refer to a simple sled, it is also a word used for a knit hat in the South. You really do learn something new every day!

No, it hasn't snowed in Pennsylvania yet. Thank goodness! It must be part of the set.

@loriqvc

We moved from VT to NC and when I heard people talking about toboggans, I assumed they meant the sleds. But, as you stated they are actually the knit winter hats. I don't know why they're called that, but it's been going on forever.

I had to chuckle to myself when I read your comments about me saying "toboggan" . I was raised in Ohio and I can still hear my Mother reminding my sister and me to put our "toboggans" on. I chuckled to myself because they were the ugliest most uncomfortable things you could ever put on your head. When you pulled them off (you always pulled from the top) your hair went flying all over the place and had so much "electricity" in it you would get shocked. BUT, they did keep your head and ears warm! Thanks reminding me of the memories. It was nice once again to flash back to my youth and the good memories! Thank you!

I never knew that. Only knew it as a sled. Never too old to learn something new.
