Poncho

A poncho pulls over the head and hangs from the shoulders, covering the arms without fitting them, which is what separates it from a cardigan. Capes and knitted fur pieces share the page, in angora, merino and wool, with the wider shawls held on the wrap page instead.

What a poncho is

A poncho has no sleeves, pulls over the head and covers the arms without fitting them. Capes fasten at the neck and hang free from the shoulders, while a wrap is not fastened at all but draped. Among the constructions on the page are rib poncho, oversized unisex poncho, skivvy poncho, long cape and reversible long line cape. Each shares the same idea of a layer that sits over everything else, but the opening and the fastening change how it is put on.

Angora and knitted fur

Angora is the fibre with most depth on this page, in knitted fur ponchos, shawls and capes. The fibre is very light, with a raised surface that feels soft to the hand and sits away from the body. It wears best as an outer layer where the surface is not compressed. Merino and wool also appear, in simpler poncho shapes without the raised pile. The fibre list is not complete.

Common questions

What is the difference between a poncho and a cape?
A poncho pulls over the head and has no front opening. Capes fasten at the neck and hang open below the fastening. Both are sleeveless, but the way they go on is different. The capes on this page sit among the ponchos rather than on a separate page.
Is a poncho warm enough on its own?
It covers the shoulders and body but leaves the arms open, so it layers over a jumper rather than replacing one. A fine knit underneath is better than a thick one, because the poncho itself provides the outer warmth and the room inside is generous.
Are the ponchos one size?
Some are. OSFA in a product title means one size fits all, and the cut is generous enough to work across a range of sizes. Sizing for every other style is shown on the individual product page, which is where the measurements live.
