Description
Fantastic coordinating cape and trowser set by Bonnie Cashin for Sills and Company! The multi shades of brown cape, while often a dramatic and flamboyant garment, is made austere yet undeniably chic via the exaggeratedly large, relaxed barleycorn tweed fabric in brown, black, and cream. The cape has two arm openings in front that are both at once playful and pragmatic. The arm openings, collar, and hem by the bronze snap buttons, are trimmed in dark leather. The relaxed pants, in matching tweed, have a high waist and are ankle length, fully lined. Gorgeous!-

Extremely rare Gilbert Adrian work of art!!! So few of this legendary designer's works remain, and of those that do, few are as flawless in their current state as this piece of wearable wonder. Made of a beautiful black wool and professionally stored for years. One size fits most. A true collector's piece!
