Take her for a spin! *capelet is a wool and mohair blend **excellent condition--no holes, stains or tears! No size tag; capelet should fit an XS to an XL. Fully plagiarizing Wikipedia here: “Mohair is a fabric or yarn made from the hair of the Angora goat (not Angora wool from the fur of the Angora rabbit). Both durable and resilient, mohair is lustrous with high sheen, and is often blended to add these qualities to a textile. Mohair takes dye exceptionally well. It feels warm in winter due to excellent insulating properties, while moisture-wicking keeps it cool in summer. It is durable, naturally elastic, flame-resistant and crease-resistant. It is considered a luxury fiber, like cashmere, angora, and silk, but is more expensive than most sheep's wool.” Now you know!
