While cleaning out my closet I came across a superb wool cape I forgot I had-- it's cadet grey (which is a medium grey), lined red, with on inside breast pocket. It has a fold over collar, closes up the front with six button, and has six knotted frogs as well.

This is the sort of cape worn at West Point, VMI, The Citadel, etc. It's long (I'm just over 6 foot and it hangs about two inches above the floor. Size is probably 42 as I'm a 44 and it almost, but not quite fits. It's heavy-- it gets cold at West Point in the winter-- and with a little home tailoring this would make a very dressy day wear cape. Someone with a bit more skill could shorten it, and use the excess to turn it into a really show stopping Ulster.

If any X Markers are interested, PM me-- otherwise it will go on eBay the end of next week with a "buy now" price of $150--

I'll post photos (if I can figure out how to do it) on the FOR SALE thread tomorrow after I get back from the Richmond Games.
