A black wool twill cape made by Arthur McGee. The cape is made from a full circle pattern, composed of two panels of wool that are seamed together at the center back. The cape features a pointed collar made from two panels (front and back) with a stabilizer in between the layers (possibly interfacing). There is a large frog closure under the collar made from black synthetic cording. The bottom hem of the cape is serged with black thread. A woven label sewn to the interior neck reads [ARTHUR MCGEE / N.Y.C.] in black, block text.
