Cape Wool

The snows have come, but despite the cold your village still depends on you to defend it from hungry raiders. The northern winters can be harsh, making men and women particularly desperate.

Thankfully, your Wool Cape is secure and keeps you warm. You keep the hood over your head as you patrol the walls, pulling it close to keep away the biting wind. At least it is easy to spot incoming trouble against the pure white of snow. You’ll see anyone coming.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Wool Cape is a heavy, water-tight cape with form-fitting shoulders and a deep hood. The cape protects the head down to the mid-calf from the elements, hanging naturally from the shoulders without impeding your movement. Made from heavy wool blend fabric, keep warm and comfortable in snow or rain.

Capes are great garments for rounding off character looks, and the Wool Cape is a practical layer that fits a wide range of characters. Secure the cape around your neck by tying the wool straps at the throat.

Available in sizes Small/Medium and Large/X-Large; and colours Dark Red and Grey.

Cleaning

Machine wash at 30°C / 86°F. Wash separately the first time and with similar colours afterwards in order to get rid of excess dye and to reduce the risk of due imprints. Do not tumble dry! Lay the garment out flat to dry.
