    So, if I read correctly it is your intent to contract with someone to make these to you and your customers specifications which you would then sell or hire out?

    Lightbulb Plans

    The search is for makers OF Inverness capes from whom one such Inverness cape could BE commissioned and bought, and whose work could then be recommended to others wanting such a garment.

    The Inverness cape predated William Sherlock Scott Holmes's first appearance in literature, and it has outlasted Arthur Conan Doyle's death.

    So in plain English...
    You’re looking for a tailor that is experienced in historical costuming?

    Try the staff at Colonial Williamsburg or other associated venues and societies.

    Post Links sought

    Lady Grey notes that a tailor experienced in historical costuming is what is being sought here, and recommends the staff at Colonial Williamsburg or other associated venues and societies.

    Links TO such venues and societies will be of tremendous help along such lines.

    Seems you're drawing a blank here, however 5 seconds of research (google search) revealed this site https://www.westcoastkilts.com/produ...and-otherwise/

    Looks like they make custom Inverness capes.

    Post More information

    AbernethyCameron recommended WestCoastKilts.com in response. A routine check indicated that its owner and proprietor was a certain Robert MacDonald, presumably of the Clan MacDonald, and that West Coast Kilts operated out of Vancouver, British Columbia Province, Dominion Of Canada.

    In case customizations are indeed offered on the Inverness Cape for Gentlemen promoted there, this may be recommended to others.

    They say they’re a small family company that does custom work.

    You might contact them.
