DESCRIPTION: These Ponchos are large and only come in one size. We use the entire width of the bolt of Fabric, including the selvedge ... 57 inches (145 cm) across. Next run, this may change, depending on the width of the bolt. The front of the Poncho is about 42 inches (107 cm) and the back a little longer at about 44 inches (112 cm)
FIT GUIDE: Generous Fit~ Designed with additional room for layering and ease of movement.
THIS IS A ONE SIZE FITS ALL ITEM:
FABRIC: 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool in our FullWeight Jacquard Fabric
WeatherWool is always MADE IN USA 100%
FEATURES:
- A large Front Pouch that can be entered from both sides, and closed with a button at each side. The bottom three inches or so (7 cm) on each side of the Front Pouch is sewn shut, creating a "gutter" for added security of contents. Within the front pouch, sewn to the main panel of the Poncho, is an elastic organizer strip to hold two items securely
- On either side of the chest placket is a large pocket secured by a zipper. The left-side pocket has a cell-phone sleeve
- Neckline closure buttons
- Button-up sides for adjustable opening
- Large hood with rear cinch for adjustability and 100% wool drawcords
- Signature slot button closures secured with nylon ribbon on armholes, at the pockets, and front center
- Milspec water-resistant thread throughout
- At the bottom of the Poncho, the borders are doubled to improve the drape and balance ... but also ... the Borders are tubular. Lying flat, they are about three inches (7.5 cm). A supporting pole or stick up to about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter can be run inside the borders. This should enable the Poncho to be used as a tarp or lean-to shelter, but we have not tested that yet. Please LMK if you do!
In FullWeight Fabrics, the Poncho weighs 6 pounds, 5 ounces (2.9 kg). MidWeight will weigh about 4.5 pounds (2 kg)
VERSATILITY: The Poncho can be used as a blanket
ANECDOTES: A mounted soldier in Ukraine told me a Poncho can provide tremendous warmth to a rider by capturing heat rising from a horse.
In testing, I was nicely surprised to find I could even mostly keep weather coming from the front off my face by tucking my chin inside the Poncho, pulling down on the side cords, relaxing the rear strap and looking down. Not the most natural way to walk, but better than wind or incoming sleet
NEXT PRODUCTION RUN: We will make Ponchos in 2026, and if you have thoughts or suggestions, please LMK! People asked for a lighter Poncho, so we'll be making Ponchos in all our FullWeight and MidWeight Fabrics ... and maybe even Denim moving forward. -- Ralph

CARE AND CLEANING: Wool’s anti-static properties help make it self-cleaning and odour-resistant, so it should not need frequent washing. It may not even need rare washing. If your wool does not seem dirty, don't feel obligated to clean it ... even if you have not cleaned it for years. More details about spot cleaning and submersion washing can be found on our care and cleaning page.
