Italia Range Ferraiolo Cape

Italia Range Ferraiolo (Cape)

The ferraiolo (also ferraiuolo, ferraiolone) is a type of cape traditionally worn by clergy in the Roman Catholic Church on formal, non-liturgical occasions. It can be worn over the shoulders, or behind them, extends in length to the ankles, is tied in a bow by narrow strips of cloth at the front, and does not have any 'trim' or piping on it.

​

The colour of the ferraiolo is determined by the rank of the cleric, being black for secular priests, fuchsia (purple) for supernumerary protonotaries apostolic and bishops and scarlet watered silk for cardinals.  A ferraiolo of watered silk also denotes the wearer is an apostolic nuncio or is attached to the Papal household. The Pope does not wear a ferraiolo.

Notes on measuring for your Ferraiolo:

​

To accurately construct your Cape, the main sizes that we require from you are:  Your overall height, your chest and collar measurements and also the drop measurement (base of collar to hem)

 

With these three sizes we will be able to make the Cape to order.

​

​

IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE ABOUT YOUR FERRAIOLO

Due to the fabric length, from the roll, depending on the drop measurement of your Cape, it may be necessary to make the main body in two parts.  This is usually done by expertly adding a smaller section to the base of the Cape.  To discuss this, before ordering, please contact us for clarification.  Returns cannot be accepted based on the way that the Cape is manufactured in this manner.
