Vintage 1970s Black Velvet Hooded Cape Surrey Classics Canada Size M

Vintage 1970s Black Velvet Hooded Cape Surrey Classics Canada Size M

$175.00

This is a vintage 1970s black velvet hooded cape by Surrey Classics, featuring a softly draped silhouette with a snap and decorative braided frog closure at the neckline. The cape is fully lined and cut with raglan shoulders, allowing generous ease through the arms and upper body. Slits at the sides allow the arms to emerge.

Material:

Shell: 100% cotton velvet
Backing: 100% nylon
Lining: 100% acetate

(As stated on the original care label)

Lining: Fully lined in black acetate

Origin: Tailored in Canada.  CA00765.  This is the Canadian textile identification number for Bogato International Enterprises of Vancouver

Sizing: The size tag is missing. Based on the measurements and the intended drape of a cape, this piece would best suit a modern women’s medium, with flexibility depending on how it is layered.  Please rely on the following measurements for fit, perhaps comparing to a cape that you presently own:

Estimated shoulders (raglan, no seam): approximately 17 inches

Bust: 52 inches around (measured to include upper arms and torso, as typical for a cape)

Side length: 39 inches from estimated shoulder

Centre back length: 41 inches from the neck seam

As with all capes, fit is forgiving through the body, but shoulder scale and length are the most important considerations.

Condition:  In very good condition. The velvet presents well with normal light handling marks consistent with pile fabric. No structural issues noted.

This is an attractive vintage 1970s black velvet hooded cape made in Canada and designed for elegant layering across seasons.
