Lovely upgraded quality cape
I love my cape. Such a lovely treat for me. I have been using it for about 4 months now and I will say it is much warmer than you would think. If not for wanting to protect it (as I plan on using for my lifetime) I would wear it everyday as my primary winter coat as Southern winters are more rainy/windy than cold most times. Only challenge I have had is with the grommet on one side being slightly weak so it tends to pop open a little easier than I like but if this bothers me it is an easy to replace item and I have good hand sewing skills so I am not worried. I have not seen this cape transfer fibers to any of my clothing and as it is blue I am sure I would have noticed. I got another cape and had to send it back as I looked like a pet hair victim after taking that one off so HUGE PLUS for this cape that it does not share with other clothing :).
Some upgraded features include the use of nicely blending grommets to create the sleeve and the fur hooks in the front are more discrete and the whole cape is, in general, scaled up a bit including the pelt size and "fluffy-ness". The fabric feels a bit more dense as well and holds its shape without wrinkling. I felt this style of cape and the construction were, in general, higher end.
I ALWAYS get compliments from people and have had people running after me to ask where I got it from :).
As a plus size tall person (18T) I can honestly say this is good fit size wise.
