Bullfighting capes

The capote, or bullfighter's cape, is fundamental to bullfighting. It is used to receive the bull with the first passes and to guide and control its charge. Our bullfighting capes are made by experienced bullfighting tailors, with the stiffness, drape and weight suited to each level.

The range covers every need:

• Professional and semi-professional capes: made from hard-wearing fabrics that stand up to work in the ring and to demanding training sessions in the country or at the bullring.
• Children's, cadet and junior capes: smaller, lighter versions for children and young people, ideal for starting out in toreo de salón (practice without a bull).
• Carrying: the reinforced nylon esportón (kit bag) is designed to protect capes and muletas from dust and damp.

Each cape features the traditional contrast of fuchsia and yellow, or fuchsia and green, with the authentic finish that professionals and keen aficionados expect.

As well as shopping online, you can visit our shop at Calle de Alcalá 231, Madrid, next to Las Ventas bullring.
