I've worn it all over the world; it works perfectly for those of us who loathe umbrellas and/or lose the damn things!; now that I'm ordained, we find ourselves in Panama where a t-shirt and shorts out of tropical weight white wool seems to be the only truly comfortable clothing! I am sooo looking forward to a return to the US or Canada or Europe--some place with cold! And one of the best reasons to return--getting my cappa nigra back from Skip and wearing it everywhere when it's cold! I do dream of one in cashmere although that's not the greatest water-resistant wool. Well, I’ve a cappa nigra that I’ve had for years, given to my by a dear dear friend.

I am sooo looking forward to a return to the US or Canada or Europe–some place with cold! And one of the best reasons to return–getting my cappa nigra back from Skip and wearing it everywhere when it’s cold!

Sakes, we're all in jeans; casual suits at best. Let's elevate things a bit with the vestments. Consider it the sartorial return to reverence in church. Of course, I am Episcopalian, so you may wish to factor in the source of the comments. :) BTW, as an aside, I had occasion to discuss Robert Toombs the other day.
