Black coated waterproof cycling cape with brush painted sealed seams. The cape is shaped at the shoulders, with the front body larger than the back so the seam sits underneath when laid flat. The centre front closes with two silver Newey Brothers press studs, and secures with a strap and buckle. The collar is lined with velvet. The front has a cotton tie on each side, attached to a small circle, and sewn to the front in a circle of stitching. There is a third tie stitched to the centre back which ties between the legs to the front to secure the cape. The hem is curved and finished with a double turn and top stitch. Made in Scotland

Very worn mauve coloured (due to considerable fading, perhaps brown originally) English moleskin trousers. They are high waisted with a raised curved back panel and four dark brown plastic front buttons and one back button (one missing) attached to the top of the waistband for the attachment of braces. There are two front western pockets with black tab details (both of which have frayed considerably) and no back pockets. The waistband is faced with the same cotton used for the pocket bags. The same black cotton is used to face the hems to provide protection against the friction riding boots would have caused (the cotton is very frayed). The trousers have a long fly front with a five button closure. Both legs have large rectangular knee patches in the same moleskin fabric to repair worn a frayed right knee. They have a small pocket inserted into the right side seam just below hip level with a long accommodating pocket bag that runs down the side of the right leg (for a knife or tool?). The back rise has black tape sewn along the centre of the seam for additional support. All of the black top stitching is poorly manufactured and very uneven across the whole garment.
