This cape is made of wool felt and sheepskin. Wool felt is a soft-touching and warm-keeping fabric woven with strands of wool yarns, resistant to ruffles or abrasion. When making clothes of sheep skin, the whole skin of a sheep would be chosen and then cut into a square by removing the head and four limbs.
