Blue Wool Cloak or Casaque, 1620-1630
I love this one.
Although it is a later pattern, it is cut exactly like cloaks of the previous century: a full circle in two or more pieces, with a vent in the back seam, and a wide, angular collar. It is only partially lined. It is said that the shape of the collar was to facilitate the application of braid, but I don’t know if I believe that. Shortly, greatcoats would definitively overtake cloaks as the fashionable overgarment for men. A lamentable course for fashion, but alas, on we go. 18th Century Greatcoat, 18th Century Cloak, Royal Navy Uniform, Mens Cloak, Navy Uniform, Navy Uniforms, Historic Fashion, Fashion Victim, Full Circle

I finally found the circular cloak from Charles XIs Carolean uniform in the 1680s. The trimming is a wool braid, which was probably originally red. In the back seam, there is a vent, and the foreparts can be turned back and fastened together across the back. The cape is angular, supposedly to facilitate the application of braid, but I’m not sure I believe that. The clasps are two brass shields, embossed with the royal cypher. This decoration is splendid; perhaps it belonged to a petty officer.

Owing to its striking similarity to Swedish cloaks of the period, one of which has been preserved in the Swedish Army Museum, particularly the eight-cornered collar, it seems likely that this is a Swedish officer’s cloak taken as spoils in the Great Northern War.
