Vintage Victorian Ox Blood Maroon Wool Cloak

Rich oxblood wool full-length riding cloak with a dramatic shoulder cape, genuine horn-style buttons, and a structured high-neck strap collar. Fully lined in satin. The buttons are a hallmark of mid-century studio tailoring — often carved from real horn or dense resin, valued today for their craftsmanship and patina. Only 2 of the larger horn buttons actually fit thru the button holes on front of the jacket, if you want the other buttons to fit you will need to alter the buttons holes. 1 button is attached with a clothes pin at the top near the collar needs to be sewed on. Built to endure studio lighting and long shoots, giving each cloak a distinctive weight and durability rarely seen today. From Costume Rentals Corporation (CRC) — one of Hollywood’s most respected wardrobe houses. For nearly fifty years, CRC dressed productions across every genre, supplying authentic civilian and period garments to major studios including Universal, Paramount, and Warner Bros. While its exact screen use isn’t confirmed, it’s a quintessential example of CRC craftsmanship: weighty, camera-ready wool, detailed horn buttons, and a rich oxblood tone that photographs beautifully. A genuine artifact of Hollywood costume history. About 54.5” long from center back bottom to bottom of collar Last one I have of these cloak / capes in this color. Photos are of the item
