Description This style is available for commission. If you would like to commission a cloak similar to this, send me a note!

All righty, excuse the dorky look on my face. Another caplet, this time featuring a hood! Otherwise, the same pattern as the black Gothic caplet, except without the serrated edges. The yoke part is made out of imitation leather, the body is a heavy, black, ribbed cotton fabric that I found in the dollar bin... it has a beautiful drape, and really moves well with your movement.
I decided to call it the Woodmen's caplet because it looks like something I would think of woodsman/woman or ranger would wear... Anyway, someone associated with the outdoors. (Though now looking at it, may be a ninja would wear it too. )
Sold to ! If you want a capelet similar to this commissioned, drop me in note
This will look best on a size small to medium man or woman (yes, it's unisex).

Are you still making these, or could you post instructions on how to make these?

Thank you! I'm actually planned on taking this for a jaunt in the woods, the studio shots hardly do it justice, and are rather unflattering, methinks.

I love capes, but hate the idea of having to faff around with the front so you can get your hands out. This is a great, *great* compromise - you can have your hands free, but your butt doesn't get cold. Great job!

FrockTarts In reply to MN-Vixen [2006-10-14 02:07:34 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! When I made it, I tried to keep the front out of the way without compromising the look of it... Like you said, I hate "faff" around with the front too!

I like it ^_^ You have a great pattern here, and the variations still look awesome. Call me crazy, but this could work very well in pasel toned velvet and lace for a very fairy look

I do wannn do one in some litter, more gentle tones, but I'm trying to work through what I have in my stash frist, and then buy stuff specifically for capelet ideas I have in mind. Like I told crazed fangirl, I wanna do one with the body consisting of wool, and and the yoke consisting of faux fur.

That would feel great, walking to class on a cold snowy day ^^ Do you mind if I make off with your consept and make one of my own? (I wouldn't make it exactly like yours) I've got a bunch of white faux fur that is looking for a purpose, and I keep thinking I should make it into a cape . . .

Run with it! I'd love to see differnt takes on this, and I really don't feel that I "own" this idea, it just hasn't been used alot..... or something along those lines.

Go hedonism! ~laugh~

I actually haven't been working on anything for halloween O.o This is surprising, because it's kind of "my holiday" I'll probably go crazy and whip something up the weekend before, just because I'm insane like that.

I usually pick real early in the year myself!
I can't wait to see what you do whip up, those last-minute are often surprising in their creativity!

Yeah, I'm usually working on my halloween costumes for the next year by newyears. But this year it just didn't happen. So we'll all be surprised ^_^

crazed-fangirl [2006-09-29 05:00:44 +0000 UTC]

Oh, that's great. ^_^ It looks warm enough, too - Maybe not for winter, but it would be nice in the fall with a good turtleneck and leather vest.
Damn, if I had the money, I'd be all over it.

It is rather warm! I was getting a little hot with it on, and all those all those photography lightsof sis shining on me... I really want to make one with the yoke made out of faux fur, and the body made of wool, and maybe line it with more faux fur... but good wool and high-quality faux fur are very expensive!
Yeah.... I'm think with how long it took to do the reading on this I have to charge least $75-$80 dollers... which put me out of the range of most back-to-school people right now...

Schweet. You should try a dark green. Maybe a ghillee-suit kind of thing (with leaves and such all over it for camoflauge).
