Key Features:

Cosy Hooded Cape for Effortless Style
The centrepiece of this set is the elegant cape, complete with a generous hood that offers both warmth and style. The hood drapes softly over the shoulders, adding an element of practicality while maintaining the clean lines that make the cape such a versatile outerwear choice. Whether you’re braving a crisp autumn day or simply want to add a touch of vintage charm to your outfit, this hooded cape is as functional as it is fashionable, embodying the effortless sophistication of the 1970s.

Chic Beret-Style Hat for a Coordinated Look
No vintage-inspired look is complete without a matching accessory, and the beret-style hat included in this set perfectly completes the ensemble. The hat’s classic shape adds a touch of Parisian flair to the outfit, creating a polished and put-together appearance. Made from the same fabric as the cape and skirt, the hat ties the entire set together, giving you a seamless, coordinated look that’s ideal for any occasion—whether it’s a stroll through town or a casual outing with friends.

Flattering Skirt for a Timeless Silhouette
The set also includes a tailored skirt that falls just below the knee, offering a flattering and elegant silhouette. The skirt is designed to complement the flowing lines of the cape, creating a balanced and harmonious look. Its simple yet sophisticated cut makes it easy to pair with other wardrobe staples, while the matching fabric ensures that it fits seamlessly with the rest of the set. This versatile skirt adds a touch of 70s chic to any outfit, making it a staple piece you’ll return to again and again.

High-quality fabric with Classic Jaeger Craftsmanship
Crafted from a rich and durable fabric, this Jaegar cape set is as luxurious as it is practical. The material has a subtle texture that adds depth and interest to each piece, while its weight offers warmth without bulk. Known for their exceptional craftsmanship, Jaeger has designed this set to stand the test of time, with attention to detail that ensures each piece maintains its shape and style. Whether worn together or separately, the cape, hat, and skirt bring a touch of refined vintage glamour to your wardrobe.

This 1970s Jaegar cape set is a celebration of classic British fashion with a retro twist. The coordinated cape, beret-style hat, and skirt make for a polished and complete look that’s perfect for cool-weather outings. Each piece can be worn alone or together, giving you endless styling options with a distinctly vintage flair. Whether you’re channelling a 70s aesthetic or simply looking for a stylish set with timeless appeal, this Jaegar collection is a true standout.

This cape is part of an extraordinary collection from the Dudley Glanfield Estate. Dudley Glanfield, an esteemed Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, was a renowned portrait photographer whose subjects included members of royalty and the nobility. Following his passing in 1992, 400 acres of his estate were sold at public auction, and the contents were entrusted to various new owners.

Among these treasures, we discovered a remarkable collection of vintage capes, believed to have been used in numerous portrait sessions and as design samples. Each piece reflects the timeless craftsmanship that defined Glanfield’s work. Now, we are eager to see these unique items receive a new life, where they can be styled and appreciated for years to come. With their enduring quality and sophisticated design, these capes are ready to be cherished once more.
