Really Wild Balmoral Cape in Cranberry—Scottish-Woven Pure Wool Tweed, Elegant Country Tailoring and a Dash of Drama!
Original price was: £995.00.£696.00Current price is: £696.00.
A cape makes a statement that an ordinary coat never quite can. And Really Wild’s Balmoral Cape in rich Cranberry makes it with considerable style.
Created as part of Really Wild’s King’s Trust Capsule Collection, this striking limited-edition design is beautifully tailored from 100% pure wool hopsack tweed woven at Lovat Mill in Scotland. Its graceful, sweeping silhouette, sculpted collar with contrasting Alcantara trim, asymmetric button fastening and discreet piped pockets give the Balmoral its distinctive equestrian elegance.
Fully lined and beautifully shaped through the shoulders, it slips effortlessly over fine knitwear or smart tailoring. Equally at home in the country or in town, its rich cranberry colour brings a wonderfully individual flourish to the winter wardrobe.

The cape has enjoyed a long and distinguished place in the British wardrobe, from the great sweeping cloaks of the 19th century to the rather more rakish versions favoured by today’s best-dressed women. And few garments can transform an outfit quite so effectively.
Really Wild’s Balmoral Cape in Cranberry is a particularly handsome modern interpretation. Created as part of the brand’s King’s Trust Capsule Collection, this limited-edition design combines the romance of traditional country dressing with the confidence of contemporary British fashion.
The cloth is a pleasure in itself: pure wool hopsack tweed woven at Lovat Mill in Scotland, in a deep cranberry shade that is a welcome departure from the customary country greens and browns. The sculpted collar, with its contrasting Alcantara trim, lends a subtle equestrian character, while the asymmetric button fastening gives the cape an elegant, almost architectural line.
There is real craftsmanship in the details. The shoulders are beautifully tailored, the cape falls in a generous sweep, and discreet piped pockets with suede detailing are neatly incorporated into the design. Fully lined, it has the substance and warmth of proper Scottish wool tweed, yet allows the freedom to layer comfortably over knitwear or tailoring.
As Really Wild’s photograph demonstrates, the Balmoral looks splendid with a wide-brimmed felt hat and long leather boots. But it would be equally convincing over a silk blouse and tailored trousers for lunch in Chelsea, or wrapped around a favourite cashmere jumper for a winter weekend in the country.
It is a garment with presence, certainly, but without ostentation. And that, perhaps, is the secret of Really Wild’s appeal: clothes that understand the traditions of British country style without being imprisoned by them.
A limited-edition creation and the return of a previous sell-out design, the Balmoral is available to CountryClubuk Members at a particularly attractive saving.
