Best Regards from the Great War! This kind of cape was developed during the First World War, these are Dutch copies of the original British model, made mostly in the '70s and '80s.
Made of tightly woven cotton sheets bonded together with some glue-like stuff that probably doesn't fulfill any EU standards for sustainability, but is probably forever and definitely keeps off rain (unlike the material on the British version). A heavy, solid cape that drapes nicely unlike today's flimsy and featherweight alternatives - this will not flap and fly away with the wind!
The cape can also be used as a makeshift groundsheet. A gentleman can charm his crush by laying the cape down on the moist ground; a seat for two. Just remember to let her know the ye olde rubber-coated cotton smell might catch on to everything that touches the cape.
Genuine Dutch surplus
In used condition. All are a bit stiff due to the long storage time. Prepare for washing, airing, and generally using the cape to bring it back to life. Just soaking the cape thoroughly will make it a lot more supple.
