The initial’s of the original owner are still sewn into the inside of the cape just under the maker’s label. Label: Bruck’s, Nurses’ Apparel, Tailored by Bruck’s Nurses Outfitting Co. This cape is very structurally sound and is not structurally compromised by what those wretched moths did! I have had this cape recently professionally dry cleaned and it is clean and ready to wear. No one will know they exist except for you! Knowing full well that the moths had done to this pretty lining I still purchased this cape because is is such a great example of a vintage nurses cape made by a noted maker of nurses’ apparel, Bruck’s. Now, of course, this sounds terrible when you just think of all this many moth holes, but when this cape is being worn, not a one of these holes can be seen. Scattered along the bottom of the lining hemline there are 14 small holes. There are 13 small holes in this area of the cape, 5 holes scattered in the inner center panel and 2 on the left panel. The hardest hit area was in the upper part of the cape in the shoulder and neck area. There are a number of moth holes, none of which are huge and hopefully you will get some idea from the photos provided of this damage to the lining. Although, the bright marigold yellow lining isn’t faded and is clean, the moths seemed to have found the marigold yellow wool lining much tastier than the outer black wool material. The issues with this wonderful cape are with the inner lining. The outside of this cape is in great condition with no fading to the black wool and no moth damage. Or for that matter, the white dress uniforms that were once required as the standard dress for lady nurses. That is until nurses no longer used capes at all. It might also be possible to use this cape for WWII reenactments as the styles of nurses capes did not change very much post war. This is a substantial cape and would be a perfect addition to anyone who does reenactments or living history requiring a nurse’s cape from this period. In the inner neck area there is a plated chain(silver tone) that can be used to hang the cape. ![]() On the inside of the left side of the cape there is a small inner slit pocket. The cape is fully lined with marigold yellow wool. Two small round black plastic buttons are used to hold this flap in place, one on each side of the cape. Towards the bottom front of the cape on the inside, there is an inner wool flap, also removable, that keeps the cape closed. These flaps are secured with two round black plastic buttons. There are also two flap closures that can be completely removed. H.” is machine embroidered in yellow on the left collar flap) that has two metal hook and eye closures. Here is a full length late 1940’s early 1950’s black wool nurse’s cape made by Bruck’s Nurses’ Apparel. ![]()
