worn when given a haircut, or in general to protect clothing. it is usually either snapped or velcroed around the neck and drapes down over the person receiving the cut and the chair. it is rather comfortable and tends to turn people on. especially when a neck strip is first wrapped around the neck, and sticks up from the collar of the cape.

capes are usually big, to cover up everything.
I watched my hair slide down the salon cape.

The hair dresser fastened a big cape around my neck.

Today I sat out on the front porch wearing a neck strip and my favorite cape.

I love getting a haircut at the local barbers. They use the good old vertical striped capes instead of those obnocious colored ones.
