The Inverness Cape . . .

Here a contemporary version (trimmer and shorter) of the Inverness Cape.
Probably most known from Basil Rathbone's role in the early Sherlock Holmes
movie. The Inverness has no sleeves, but a cape that wraps around open
arm holes. Very comfortable for any activity using the arms.

Stylish Fleece Vest . . .

The ubiquitous fleece vest is as practical as any garment made,
but, in my view, not very stylish. Here is one I like, styled after a
shearling lined leather vest.

Melody's old Argus rangefinder camera was not just a cool fashion
accessory. It was a functional camera loaded with 35mm film
waiting for the next creative shot.
