Adaptation.

It’s chilly in Florence today as I walk Via dei Calzaiuoli, the quaint pedestrian street that runs from the cathedral to Piazza della Signoria.

A woman passes by in a contemporary, full-length coat with a cape.

She transforms the coat by simply pulling a drawstring, allowing the cape to cinch around her neck. Sealed from the elements.

As I struggle with my scarf, I’m once again reminded of the more gifted sex.

The Elongating Caped Collar Coat
(No. 2952), has been around for centuries. Only now the cape is truly functional and can be adjusted to go up or down around the neckline.

The front ties allow for a nonstructured fit that can be as loose or tight as required. Magnetic closure at front. The synthetic fabric is 100% water repellent. Clean interior seams. For remaining mysterious (and comfortable) in an ever-changing world. .

Women’s sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL.

Colors: Black, Cream.
