The Caperon, For When You Need An Apron But Also Might Need A Cape

First there were gluttony pants. Now, Betabrand has introduced the Caperon.

Obviously, this is no ordinary cape-apron hybrid, explains Betabrand. After all, "it took a decade of painstaking research and development in the fields of fashion, science, metaphysics, and barbecuing" to create such a complicated garment.

We think the idea is pretty genius, and have come up with several scenarios in which the Caperon could prove useful:

• You want to stand out during your neighborhood's annual Fourth of July parade.


• You tend to stain your back a lot.


• You are self-conscious about your really hairy neck.


• You are a vampire, but don't really care for black.


• No one ever believed you, but you can fly!

Just be careful when you are battling evil villains with it. Remember what happened at the end of The Incredibles?

Looks like the guy in the picture should spend the money on a new grill instead of a stupid Caperon.

And in the second picture, it appears the Caperon is highly flammable as well! Polyester, maybe?

Like Edna Mode sez 'NO CAPES'.

Can I get a Caperon in time for the Islamabad 4th of July party?!?!

The Caperon has allowed me to shirtlessly smoke meats for friends, families, and trolls whilst protecting flammable chest hair and covering unsightly back hair. Visitors no longer have to make up phony excuses for appetites lost due to stray glance at the hair garden growing on my back.

That's the same patterned fabric as the pants Steven Cobert wore at the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, yes? I'd buy the caperon just for that. But mostly for the Elvis collar. We've got a big BBQ coming up this month and I can't think of a better way to stand out. Sign me up!

I believe the cape was scientifically designed to retain super powers, but still be short enough to avoid being sucked into aircraft engines.
