Brushed Cape

A luxuriously soft cape in over-brushed natural grey yak wool and silk, with tan horn buttons. It can be fastened at the sides and worn as an over-sized jumper, or left unbuttoned and draped over the shoulders as a cape. With painstakingly hand-stitched welt seaming throughout, and hand-sewn silk-khullu facings to finish.

The lighter haired grey yak are far less common than brown yak; only one in every hundred animals have the paler wool used to create this cape.

Care: Use a mild detergent or regular shampoo and carefully hand-wash by submerging in cold water for 10–15 minutes. Alternatively, dry clean or machine wash using the cold, delicate setting. Dry flat or on a clothes hanger away from direct sunlight; do not wring dry or tumble dry. To keep the fibre in optimal condition, gently steam iron. During the warmer months, clean and store your garment in a ziplock bag, preferably with moth repellent.
