He Had A Red Lined Cape and A Black Plumed Hat.(Most Sources say It Was An Ostrich Feather)

 

[rebrick]

Scarlet Red lined cape and Ostrich Feather

Reports indicate that he lined his cape and/or coat with bright red material.

There is some discussion as to whether the plume was ostrich or peacock, I have found references to both.

The cape had a red lining and he wore a peacock's feather in his hat.

 

[snoopy]

Stuart's grey cape was lined in red material. His plumed hat had a peacock feather in it.
