The San Miguel Belted Cape is made from Pendleton® San Miguel Blanket Weight Wool.

The San Miguel pattern represents a visual timeline of cultural intersection and artistic adaptation in the early American Southwest. At its core, the layout utilizes designs traditionally symbolizing the cosmos and universal balance with crosses that capture the historical blending of European iconography with regional weaving techniques. The distinct crosses throughout the pattern represent the complex interaction between 19th-century Spanish Franciscan missionaries and indigenous weavers. Local artisans adopted the European religious symbol but geometricized its borders to fit the rigid structure of their hand-looms. Together, these elements create a visual timeline of historical trade, cultural intersection, and artistic adaptation in the American Southwest. The result is a striking and balanced aesthetic.

The San Miguel Belted Cape is a modern version of the classic cape based on a vintage 1960s silhouette. Cape drapes over the shoulders and is belted in front creating open side slits for your arms. Leather magnetic closures allow for easy dressing. Fully lined. One size accommodates most. Classic and timeless!
