First off I want to mention how great customer service is. I am short 4'11", and along with my height, this was a purchase I had been saving for. I needed specific information on the capes Blarney Woolen Mills carries to help ensure I purchased the one that would meet my needs. The young woman who answered my questions was fantastic and incredibly helpful. Shipping was awesome, I received it within a week, beautifully packaged and well protected. Now the cape, although I knew it would be long on me, I decided the 100% wool walking cape was the one for me. I live in upstate NY and it is cold here during the winter. I have been using this as my winter jacket and it is FANTASTIC even on below zero days. This cape is soft and although seems light weight, it is warm, cozy and I have lost count of the compliments I have received when wearing it. I am 100% happy with my purchase and love this cape. Although expensive, unlike so many things these days, this is a well made garment worth its price tag. Just in case someone short is looking at this, before alterations, the cape was below the knee, about mid cafe on me and seemed to have tons of material. Once shortened it fell beautifully and is a stunning cape even on a short, plump person.
