1930's cape scans

When I think of capes, I always think of those lovely 1960's and 1970's patterns.  However, capes (and capelets) were also popular in the 1930's.  Here's a few I've found from the Vintage Pattern Wiki and the Sears Catalogue collection from ancestry.com.

The lovely cape below is from 1935 (the same year as my cape pattern):


They also have a kid's version as well:

There's this adorable coat/cape combo from 1936:

And I found several patterns from the mid to late 30's.  There's this lovely suit/cape combo from Advance patterns:

Also from Advance patterns...I love this one:

Hmmm...maybe Advance patterns did more cape patterns?  I also really like this one:

 I like capes for evening wear like this Excella pattern:

This Hollywood pattern has a shorter and longer version of a cape:

Do you own a cape?  Have you ever sewn one?  Would you wear one?
