Pluvmantelo traversed the Welsh Marches and crossed the border deep into Mercia for a catch up with The Cape Queen. Once again the weather Gods refused to treat Clair’s cape-wearing kindly, festooning rain on to a variety of old (and older) raincapes but then again, …
Winter’s well and truly with us and for some that means an early dose of snow. The Cape Queen says that’s no problem as she’s fending off the snow and ice with her Hunter cape and a cracking pair of 1990s Hunter wellingtons. It’s a …
Clair The Cape Queen’s finished her trip into the town and heads back through the park. It’s been pretty cold today so a decent old-school jumper slips nicely under her Hunter cape, keeping her protected from the elements in proper fashion. …
The Cape Queen’s not beyond taking a trip into town to do some shopping, peruse what’s on offer and catch up with friends, enjoying a large brew in a nearby café. But as we see, Clair’s happy to be caped up whatever the occasion, even …

Way out West, out among the trees Feraline donned a selection of Pluvmantelo capes… typically just as the rain stopped. But, as always, our muse took to the capes, including a rubber one recently arrived from Latvia. An old yellow oilskin one added a splash …
Grey raincapes are few and far between so this one makes something of a change. Miss FK clearly liked its shorter, slightly military design with double buttons and epalettes. But when it comes to capes it’s all about how it hangs, and this one does that …
…you might meet Miss FK wearing a selection of old-school raincapes. We ventured deep into an out-West forest and here’s a taster of what’s to come as Miss FK tried on a selection of capes from the Pluvmantelo collection. A choice of colours adds to …
