            Part of Westminster Menswear Archive
            Yellow oilskin 'Speedway' cape by Belstaff, designed for cyclists and motor sport spectators. It fastens at the neck placket with two brass poppers, with an additional popper on the collar to secure it when standing. An angled placket tab provides extra rain protection. The cape features two heat-sealed side seams and a central seam running from the front placket. It has a curved hem and includes three internal plastic tabs at waist height, originally threaded with ties to allow the wearer to cinch the cape closer to the body.

            Dark blue police cape made of rubberised cotton with leather buckle fastening. It fastens at the centre front with four concealed black buttons (each with a security button behind) and a black leather strap just below the collar. The two side seams have been top-stitched and bonded with black tape to provide rigid reinforcement and ensure the cape remains waterproof. The hem also has a wide band of waterproof tape bonded on internally to allow the cape to keep its shape. There are two black elastic tabs finished in gabardine that have been inserted and sealed with a panel of self-fabric onto the inside of the back panel to be attached around the wearer's waist with three buttons sewn onto the adjustable tabs. Two elastic loops are also positioned on either side for the wearer to put their arms and wrists through for extra security.

            Denim poncho adorned with numerous cotton jacquard embroidered badges, manufactured by Gainsborough Textile Mill in Suffolk.

The designs are inspired by Kibbo Kift imagery and include graphics such as three hands saluting, a heraldic fawn, a green man, an animal paw, a skeleton hand giving the finger, and a "no war" patch. The poncho is secured by two paracords and features four carabiner clips with knotted cords, along with one small dog clip.
