My VPS put the Cape Jacket in Wool Melton in my dressing room to try on during the First Look event. She was there during the original “Mr. Roboto Cape” in 2011; the Streetscape Cape. That cape was shorter and the armholes not as long. I liked the cape but it was a pass for me then.

I tried on a size XS/S in the Cape Jacket in Wool Melton. The cape is longer than the Streetscape Cape. The armholes are larger and there are also pockets on this cape. I like the Warm Camel color of it as well. The material is nice but not something that will keep you warm in cold Winters.

 

I made sure to look at the shoulders to gauge the fit this time and the cape fit very well in the XS/S. I am usually a size 8/10 Petite in Coats and Blazers. I still felt a little “Mr. Roboto” in the Cape Jacket but I did like it a lot more than the previous version from 2011. I still am not comfortable with how wide the cape looks on me, especially in the back. Though it fit very well, I’m not in need of something like this Cape Jacket so I am passing on it. I can’t see myself wearing it over my Majesty Peacoat or any of my Blazers.

  

The cape also comes in Houndstooth with Leather Trim.
