I love the versatility that a Cape offers. They have a deep rooted history from Medieval Europe, 19th Century, Military Ware, and now Fall 2010 Fashion. They keep making their return. From elaborate embroidery to the casual poncho. (Above) Photos from style.com Left to right: Albino,McQueen, Ports 1961, Wunderkind(Below) Here are some vintage Capes, Cloaks, and ponchos.
