"BURBERRY BLUE LABEL" 00's-10's Checked hooded wool cape

"BURBERRY BLUE LABEL"
00s-10s Hooded wool check cape with leather buckles

From BURBERRY BLUE LABEL, which layered a light, refined sensibility onto classic design rooted in British heritage to create a distinctly Japanese style, we present a piece whose check pattern is beautifully rendered. Produced during the license period for the Japanese market by Sanyo Shokai, this item offers the full charm of an older line.

The main body uses wool fabric with thickness and a gentle brushed texture. With a dark navy close to black and deep brown as the base, and fine mustard-yellow lines running through it, the bold check pattern is refined into a calm, sophisticated expression. It is finished in an exquisite color combination that remains classically striking while also blending easily into everyday outfits.

With no clearly defined shoulder line or set sleeves, this cape silhouette comfortably wraps the body, paired with a three-dimensional hood. The front is styled with two rows of genuine leather straps and angular metal buckles, adding neat accents to the soft wool texture. The fringe along the hem naturally creates expression with every movement, while a gold-colored knight motif embroidered design and a patch embossed with the brand name also convey a distinct identity in a restrained yet unmistakable way.

Because the design does not separate the body and sleeves, it is easy to layer even over chunky knits or jackets—enjoy a level of freedom in wear unlike that of typical outerwear.

Additionally, given the brand tag that includes Sanyo Shokai’s company name and “Made in Japan,” the older JIS-style washing instructions used before the December 2016 revisions, and the fact that their licensed distribution ended in 2015, this is an item that can be judged to have been made from the late 2000s to around 2015—one that carries the history of the former BURBERRY BLUE LABEL line.

Whether you want to incorporate traditional checks with good taste or add variety to your autumn and winter outfits with a softer silhouette unlike a structured coat—this cape is highly recommended. Pair it with a turtleneck and slim slacks for a polished look, or style it with a long skirt and boots for a classic, deep, dimensional feel. As a product from a different era than the current line—carefully crafted in Japan from materials through to the details and trims—this is a piece you will want to cherish for years to come.

Please consider this opportunity.
