Here at Pluvmantelo we think the three best cape ‘names’ are Bormax (more of that later), Rukka and Slickon. They were properly made and of course look great too. Here’s Feraline in our green Rukka raincape which we bought a few years ago. The shade …
Only as regards the colour of this cape…. A grey rain cape is unusual, there’s no denying that, but this 1960s nylon American cape looks pretty swish we think you’ll agree, helped by the large gold-ringed buttons. Feraline was off to a den she found …
Drought? What drought? Feraline loved this bespoke pvc cape from Etsy seller AgaMondoCreativo, the fish pattern being entirely appropriate and just that bit different too. Yes, the sun was out too but that didn’t detract from this fine cape and it received plenty of compliments. …
Pluvmantelo headed out West to catch up with Feraline and get down to the business of another in-the-woods cape shoot. And yes, the sun was shining, but it’s hard to argue that Feraline didn’t look the part in this 1950s Slickon cape. The West Country …

Yes, another old black rubber cape and this time it’s a 1950s Slickon we bought a few weeks ago. It’s certainly aged well and we think it looks simply great. It hangs well and still has a half-decent shine. Saph’s clearly made it her own. …
Saph clearly liked our 1960s pvc polka-dot cape and despite the sun she was more than happy to wear it. There’s something clearly evocative of the swingin’ ’60s – maybe more Carnaby Street than a corn field out west – but who cares? …
In ‘The Diary of a Nobody’ Charles Pooter makes reference to his wearing ‘a capital hat’ and we’d like to think you’d agree these pvc hats from Peak and Brim are just the ticket whatever the weather, and especially with a proper raincape. Feraline liked …
