The 207 Kinsale Cloak by Folkwear is a dramatic full-length cloak inspired by the traditional wool cloaks worn for centuries in rural Ireland.

Designed to fall approximately ankle length on a 5'7" wearer, the cloak is fully lined and hand-gathered into a wide collar, creating small, soft, unpressed pleats that fall toward a gracefully curved hem. The cloak fastens at the neck with a large hook & eye.

An optional detachable hood can be buttoned to the cloak beneath the collar. Wear it over the head as a loosely fitted hood or drape it over the shoulders as an over-cape. Without the hood, the cloak creates a dramatic unisex outerwear piece suitable for both women and men.
