Samantha's Plaid Cape and Gaiters ... Retired
Very Early First Version, First Year Release
Rare To Find
Authentic American Girl / Pleasant Company
Samantha looks like a sophisticated city girl in her cape of Black Watch plaid. It's trimmed in navy soutache braid and ties with a silk cord. When she goes skating in Central Park, slip on her plaid gaiters over her shoes to keep her legs warm.
Samantha's Plaid Cape and Gaiters were part of Samantha's Winter Collection during her first release. They were introduced in 1988, retired in 2008, and are associated with the book Changes for Samantha.
This is the very early and rare to find version cape with a velvet band around the top of the collar. It was only available for a short time and was then changed to the same plaid material as the rest of the cape.
Cape: Black Watch tartan blue and green cape. Navy braid trim. Two slits for deals dolls' hands in the front sides. Navy bow at collar. 1988 Pleasant Company Tag.
Gaiters: Blue and green gaiters. Navy ribbons. Four black buttons up sides. Loops to attach under feet. Velcro in back. 1988 Pleasant Company Tag.
The edge of the velvet collar could use a few stitches (but not necessary to use) and the cord is fuzzy from sticking to the velcro. Please look closely at last two photos.
