Vintage Western Rodeo Suede Leather Fringe Cape

Introducing a complete one-of-a-kind, unique and sand-tone suede fringe capelet with bone bead breastplate detailing

 This suede shoulder capelet originates from the late 1980s to early 1990s and draws from North American Western and Plains-inspired design influences. Made from soft natural suede in a warm sand tone, it features dramatic hand-cut fringe along the hem and armscye line. The focal point is an appliquéd V-shaped breastplate detail constructed from imitation bone pipes, flanked by black and silver beaded spacers, a style historically linked to ceremonial regalia. At the center, a silver-tone concho ring with a hanging tassel reinforces its reference to traditional adornment practices.

The capelet is constructed in a pull-over style with no closures, allowing for ease of wear and flexible layering. The cut and finishing suggest small-batch artisan manufacture, likely produced for rodeo events, Western fairs, or performance use in the US Southwest. It offers strong collector interest for those seeking authentic pieces reflecting 20th-century Western revival fashion and American regional craft.
