Cape Aramis

Cape Aramis

Epic Armoury’s Cape Aramis is a hip-length caplet with a high collar and decorative cord fastening. The design is meant to offer a top layer of glamour that can be worn over one or both shoulders. Made from fine twill and cut to include extra billowing fabric, this cape is embellished with a detailed gold and black trim. Its fine appearance makes for a great accessory for a variety of Renaissance or fantasy costumes, especially nobility or musketeers.

The Cape Aramis is an elegant cut with three slits for the arms to slide through depending on how it is worn. Secure the cape around the neck or across the chest by tying the long satin cord.

• Available in Emperor Red, Epic Black and Dragon Teal colors
