The layer that works with the clothes you already love. This charcoal Donegal tweed ruana pairs with jeans, knitwear and smarter outfits, bringing warmth and texture without a bold pattern to match. Handmade in Ireland from 100% pure new wool, its generous unisex cut comes with or without a hood and includes a brooch pin.

Easy colour, plenty of character
Deep charcoal grey is scattered with lighter grey and off-white flecks for a classic salt-and-pepper finish. From a distance it reads as a versatile dark neutral; closer up, the woven texture gives it character. Pair it with black trousers and a cream jumper, blue jeans and boots, or navy, camel, olive and burgundy. It works with both black and brown footwear, making it an easy piece to reach for day after day.

A wrap for women and men
The open-front rectangular shape drapes freely over your shoulders, with room for layers underneath. Wear it open, sweep one side across the opposite shoulder, or secure the folds with the included brooch pin. Choose a hood for extra coverage or the non-hooded version for a simple neckline. The medium-weight tweed suits cool days and evenings, with extra knitwear underneath when temperatures fall.

Why pure new wool matters
Made from 100% pure new wool: new wool fibres, rather than reclaimed wool, with no synthetic fibre blend. Wool provides natural insulation while remaining breathable, absorbing and releasing moisture vapour as conditions change. Its natural crimp gives the cloth resilience and helps it recover from everyday creasing. This is traditional textured tweed, with the feel and character of real wool.

Our wool is ethically sourced, cruelty-free and mulesing-free, from sheep raised in free-roaming farming systems. Ireland's pasture-based sheep farming and long weaving tradition are part of the heritage behind our work. We source our genuine Donegal tweed from local woollen mills and make each cape here in Ireland.

Choose your size and finish
S/M: front length 29.5 inches (75 cm), back length 29.5 inches (75 cm), width 47 inches (119 cm).
L/XL: front length 35.5 inches (90 cm), back length 35.5 inches (90 cm), width 59 inches (150 cm).
Measurements are approximate. Compare these dimensions with the coverage you prefer; the loose cut is suitable for women and men.

Only S/M has hand-fringed edges. L/XL is not hand-fringed. Fringe length can vary with the traditionally woven cloth. Edges are professionally finished with matching thread. Both sizes are available hooded or without a hood; select your preferred combination before ordering.

From our family to yours
We make and sell our capes through our family-run Irish craft business. Your order supports the people cutting, sewing and finishing your garment, and helps us continue working with Irish woven cloth. A useful everyday piece for yourself, or a thoughtful Irish gift for someone who loves natural wool.

The photographs were taken at the Wishing Bridge in the Gap of Dunloe, near Killarney, County Kerry. The Kerry landscape is part of our home and our work. Outdoor light and screen settings can affect how the charcoal shade appears; the close-up photographs show the fleck and weave in more detail.

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.

Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, mailing address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) Providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
• Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
• Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

How Long I Store Your Information

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 7 years.
Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

Your Rights

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
• Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
• Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
• Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
• Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

How can I adjust my screen to see colors as close to real life on your listings?

1. Turn Off HDR: HDR settings can overly enhance colors. Turn it off for a truer representation.

2. Use a Blue Light Filter: Reducing blue light helps display more accurate colors.

3. Adjust Contrast/Brightness: Moderate settings prevent color distortion.

4. Avoid Strong Lighting: Harsh light around the screen can impact color perception.

5. Regular Screen Calibration: Keep colors accurate by calibrating your screen periodically.

6. Screen Variations: Screens differ; expect slight variations despite adjustments.

7. Cross-Screen Comparison: Compare colors across devices for accuracy checks.

Following these steps can bring our products' colors closer to reality on your screen. Though variations may persist due to screen differences.
