Though the mohair is actually chocolate brown, it's plush enough to look black at certain angles. Exquisite quality unavailable in today's clothing. Chocolate brown mohair half-cape with Peter Pan collar, allover floral passementerie and jet bead detail; 2 ½” Mongolian lamb trim at collar and front opening edges. Three heavy-duty hook and eye closures from throat to waist and open (15”) to hem; no armholes. Single interior mohair flap pocket; fully lined in black polished cotton. fabric: mohair, Mongolian lamb fur, polished cotton noteworthy: dry clean only (remove fur trim first!) alterations: none condition: very good with gentle drying to leather backing on fur trim measurements: collar: 4” at widest, not including 2 ½” fur trim neck circumference: 15 ½” fully closed shoulders: approx 17” length: 28” from shoulder sweep: 95” label: no label present size: no size tag present; comparable to modern size one size fits most
