@lolakimono,  LOVE. Would like blue. It is probably gone. Not sure correct words on the Bay HELP PLEASE. Prov


@sligo 

The seller from the blue one (not the same seller as mine) is theblissfulbeagle.

 

It is VERY thick and heavy, so maybe too heavy for your current location.

 

Or you can search

"Vintage Hourihan Full Length Cape Ireland Wool Blue Tweed Lined Button Mockneck"

 

There is another purple one from "spotx."

And a red one-

"rachelandlizzysthings"

There is an aqua/green one too-

"threetabbycats"

Re: I Bought Something Kooky Crazy!

Now that I know it's from Ireland I like it even more @lolakimono My Mom bought a full length wool cape in Ireland, in Dublin. I believe it's grey. She hardly ever wore it and she was a much larger size when she bought it. So eventually it was too big for her anyway.

 

It's hard for me to take it out of the closet. Maybe tomorrow I can try.

 

I really like the short belted cape

You should definitely take it out, and maybe find a nice brooch to add in her memory.  Perhaps there is a reason that you saw this post.  Heart

@lolakimono  Your cape is GORGEOUS!  I absolutely love it.  Wow.  You are inspiring me to go cape shopping now.  Sadly, I cannot do wool, but am going to scope out winter capes...perhaps a lined velvet or something.  Thanks for posting your purchase.  Wear it well!

@sligo 

Did you disappear down the eBay rabbit hole?

 

Were you able to find the vendors?

Re: I Bought Something Kooky Crazy!

Love your cape!  The green one is pretty, too.

 

i still have a red plaid cape with a detachable scarf that I bought from one of the Q’s Irish shows long ago.....probably 20 years ago!  I wore it once last fall.....so I continue to hang on to it.....it’s really beautiful, and I still love it!

 

Enjoy wearing your pretty cape!
