Has anyone seen a poncho like the IMAN poncho anywhere else?

I did not order last night- DUH and now it is sold out in my size.

This one? Which color did you want? This is an easy pattern. An alterations person could make this quickly with some fabric from a good shop.

I would think you could go down a size in this, if that's available. HSN has a few other ponchos that look nice. Jones New York has something similar but it's called a "cape" if you want to do a search for it.

The camel is sold out in XS, S, and M.

I am on waitlist for small and Med.

I have the Jones NY cape in black, since all the stores closed...... very hard to find there stuff.

More than 10 years ago Victor Costa made a similar (the neckline was higher) cape. It came in taupe and red. I still have them. I do find the arm slits to be a bit awkward.

@Abrowneyegirl

Go on waitlist. There are always canceled orders and returns. I watched the video and the host mentioned the difference in sizes had to do with the length. Iman did not add any additional information.

I would have ordered black but it is no longer listed.

Does anyone actually wear these things once they buy them? It seems they'd be very bothersome carrying a handbag or worse...a shoulder bag. How about driving and getting in and out of the car? So many of them just wrap and there seems to be a lot of fabric with which to contend.

Back in the 70s, I made myself a lined wool cape with the same silhouette as the picture but with buttons up the front but found it hated wearing it. Back in those days I had a baby to carry and that was impossible in the cape.

joan rivers did a few capes like this, but with some type of closure down the front so you could close it or leave it open.

@sunshine45 While I love all the above capes, they all read 'outer-wear' to me.

I recently brought some sweater ponchos in Macy's they are beautiful with a long sleeve sweater under it. I also have a cape like the ones shown above here.
