Mon Ange Cape

Not all Heroes Wear Capes - But Most Do The Mon Ange Cape is a full-length waxed cotton cape inspired by an authentic 18th-century design and reworked for modern outdoor use. Part of our Château Collection with Dick and Angel Strawbridge, it combines traditional form with practical weather protection. At 117cm long and 175cm wide, its flowing cut gives you plenty of room to move while keeping your body, arms and hands well covered when the weather turns. Stay Covered, Keep Moving A cape gives you weather protection without locking your arms inside sleeves. Two 30cm arm slits let you put your hands through only when needed, while weather flaps help keep wind, rain and drizzle out. A 25cm rear slit improves mobility and sitting, and the generous cut leaves room to move comfortably underneath. Add the removable wide hood when conditions worsen, or wear it without for a cleaner, traditional silhouette. Waxed Canvas Protection The cape is made from 8oz waxed cotton canvas, finished with five brass front buttons and a 52cm YKK AquaGuard® zip for added weather resistance. A wide collar sits over a removable hood that zips neatly around and beneath the collar. Inside, a three-quarter cotton lining features a custom pattern inspired by Angel Strawbridge’s Museum of Wallpaper at Château de la Motte-Husson, adding a distinctly Château detail without compromising the cape’s practical purpose. Made To Weather Well Waxed cotton is designed to be used, marked and maintained. As the Mon Ange Cape wears in, the fabric develops character rather than simply looking worn out. Its water repellency can also be renewed — or increased — by re-waxing the canvas when required. Brass hardware will develop its own natural patina over time, giving the cape the kind of appearance that comes from genuine use rather than something manufactured to look old. A Little Château Adventure Designed by Jarrod Stillman and Angel Strawbridge, the Mon Ange Cape brings together the practicality of outdoor equipment with the character and romance of Château de la Motte-Husson. It is substantial, distinctive and made to be worn rather than saved for good. Each cape also includes our limited-edition commemorative brass Château Pin depicting Château de la Motte-Husson — a small finishing detail for a piece made to have a story of its own.
