The Army still has the Blue Cape and Frog. The lining is branch specific. This one is available from Marlow White for $399.00. Although some of the those that responded before have seen the cape worn (they're different for the Marines and the Navy), I've never seen one worn. This photo is from the Marlow White online catalog.

My wife and I were married in November in Chicago so the weather could be iffy. I told her about the cape and she wanted me to get one. I was not going to pay $400 for one and the weather turned out to be fantastic for November.Response by COL Jon Thompson made Dec 7 at 2015 9:07 PM2015-12-07T21:07:50-05:002015-12-07T21:07:50-05:00Capt Bob Abbott1158385<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is one of those questions, that as an Air Force guy, I get jealous of the other services. Can you imagine? Zoomies with capes! Oh, and if we could get Zorro hats too! What a military it would be!Response by Capt Bob Abbott made Dec 7 at 2015 9:26 PM2015-12-07T21:26:32-05:002015-12-07T21:26:32-05:00PO2 Wesley Wilson1158493<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Only if you wear the mask and utility belt....Response by PO2 Wesley Wilson made Dec 7 at 2015 10:08 PM2015-12-07T22:08:49-05:002015-12-07T22:08:49-05:00CAPT Kevin B.1158770<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They're Boat Cloaks for us. We called them horse blankets. They used to be a good deal at the on base thrift shop. Being heavy wool, you had to store them in cedar and mothballs. Every time I looked at them, I'd do the math on how many times would I actually wear it and then bought 4oz of silver bullion for $20 bucks and put it away. If I were assigned to Great Lakes or similar, I probably would have picked one up.Response by CAPT Kevin B. made Dec 7 at 2015 11:41 PM2015-12-07T23:41:26-05:002015-12-07T23:41:26-05:00MAJ Private RallyPoint Member1158895<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes. I own one. It is fantastic. I wear it as an outer garment for semi-formal events or when otherwise appropriate. While I'm happy that it is an optional item, folks should consider buying one. It is much better in certain conditions than the black trench coat. Also, it is very hard to wear the officer sabre under the black trench coat, but the sabre is easily worn under the cape. Keep the cape as an optional item!Response by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 8 at 2015 1:22 AM2015-12-08T01:22:11-05:002015-12-08T01:22:11-05:002015-12-07T19:14:57-05:00
