Wat een koning! ... nou ja, bij wijze van. Maar zonder gekheid: blij dat er nog echte excentrieke Britten bestaan.
Most readers will want to use this technique with an odd jacket rather than a Chitrali Cloak from the Pakistani tribal areas. Said cloak costs but £30 ($45), which is unusually good value for twelve yards of hand loomed lambs' wool, however the low cost is no doubt related to the 340 mile trip from Islamabad that's required to reach the town where they are made. Fortunately, the royal publicity means we can probably expect to find the garments in the J. Peterman catalog next season.

W.B. Yeats & the Irish Drama.As early as 1889 we see him and Maud Gonne in Dublin Museum scrutinizing the Whistlers:
“She has a dress that changes color as she moves; Yeats has a dark, romantic cloak about him. They pay no attention to the stir they are creating.”
Decades later. He strides through Dublin looking much like his engraved portrait on the Irish £20 banknote and still wearing the cloak, which has become a carapace of greatness.
Packets of bacon and copies of the Irish Times fall from the fingers of reverent onlookers. Respectful applause.
Men’s Irish Cloak (No. 4033), our own respectful copy of the knee-length original found just off St Stephens Green; for making your appearance at the Abbey Theatre or intimidating headwaiters into recollecting that of course Sir you booked the best table in the house.
Pure melton wool, great flow and drape. Satin lining. Handcrafted, aged pewter fleur-de-lis clasp. One size fits all.
