From the artist’s prop collection of Jerry Crandall

Capote ~ Blue/White with Red Stripe

Beautiful Blue and White with small Red stripe Witney blanket capote. Hand sewn with artificial sinew, shoulder decor using red trade cloth and beadwork. Hooded, waist tie, blanket stitched. Witney label missing, but from I remember based on the colors, it is a Witney.

Arm length 28″; chest 44″; approximate neck opening 18″; overall length 48″

All our capotes have been extensively used both as artist props and in movies Centennial and The Mountain Men where Jerry served as technical advisor in both films. Judy made Charlton Heston’s green Hudson’s Bay capote for the movie The Mountain Men.
