The WildCape

The WildCape is our little sister version of the WildRobe which we launched in May 2022. Like the WildRobe this is also for every wild adventure and wild rebel out there! Inspired by nature and our love of being at one with nature, this cape has unlimited wears waiting to happen.
Watch Clare talk about the design and how she would wear!
The only difference from our WildRobe is the overall body length, this cape is 27" long compared to the 48"drop of the robe. For both we now have the added optional feature of two deep pockets. These are fixed on one side, allowing you to choose whether you wish them to be on the inside or outside, simply reverse your cape and you are good to go!
Each cape has an oversized cowl neck that doubles as a hood, it is fully reversible for the times you may use as a dry robe, just flip it inside out and enjoy the feel of the dry wool for a second time. It can also be worn either way, with the opening at the front or the back. Simply slip the cowl neck over, pop your arms through and your off!
Available in the three limited edition run tartan fabrics. See full details below in Dimensions & Details section.
If you would like a custom sized cape then please select the Bespoke Sized Cape item and we will contact you to confirm measurements and your fabric choice. This will be made and shipped within 1-2 weeks of receiving your information.

Dear Prickly team! Time to tell you once again - keep up on the perfect (because it is not just « good ») work you are doing. The feeling, the love for Scotland is present in everything you do - every single piece of clothes. This is probably why it is so great to wear it. Quality, colors - I do believe this was one of my preferred presents for Christmas to myself. Thank you for your spirit, for your help with the order (that was quite a journey for me!). Cannot wait for my next purchase! Love from France ❤️
I loved this design from the moment I first saw it, but decided to wait to try it on when I visited the mill in September. Loved it even more — so much that I snagged the sample to take home with me!
It is soft and snuggly, and the colors are gorgeous. I love the pockets, too. The pullover design with the cowl neck is ingenious…easy to put on and no fussing with buttons or zips.
I have received compliments everywhere I’ve worn it. People love the tartan and are surprised at how soft the fabric is.
