Description

The Cypress Cape serves as a versatile addition to your outdoor endeavours or casual escapades, offering a lightweight and easy-to-layer option. Its broad semi-circular sleeves and attached hood render it an ideal companion for strolls or bike rides. Alternatively, when worn over jeans and a shirt, it imparts an effortlessly laid-back appearance.

Unlined for reduced weight and enhanced portability, the cape features neatly bound hems using bias tape. A wind flap with Velcro closures conceals the front zipper, while pleats at the centre back introduce an elegant touch. Noteworthy flap pockets are thoughtfully included to secure your wallet, keys, and other essentials.

Opt for waterproof fabric to stay comfortably dry during wet spells. Additionally, you can opt for reflective piping along the seam lines to amplify visibility. Regardless of the weather, the Cypress Cape ensures you're prepared, rain or shine!
