Pheasant and Jute

Finished the jute Arapaki this week, and devised a new top finish which I quite like.  I was trying to work out how the old cloaks I have seen were finished. I'm not sure if I have discovered exactly what they did but I quite like this anyway.
So this is made of jute, with pheasant feathers. It has poka (shaping) and a plaited top edge with a fringe. There are black and red rope highlights.
