The children’s bullfighter’s cape from a bullfighter’s tailor shop is made to resemble an authentic fighting cape.
Its origin comes from the beginnings of bullfighting when the knights who went out to rejoneo (bullfight from horseback) dressed with capes and used them in their passes with the bull. Formerly it was red and lighter.
Currently, fighting capes are pink with a yellow lining, or sometimes blue or purple. They are made of synthetic fabric, nylon, or silk, to prevent the bull’s horn from getting caught too easily, and are also treated to prevent blood penetration and to give them more weight and rigidity.
The fighting cape is not the same as the parade cape (capote de paseo) that bullfighters wear during their entrance to the bullring or ‘paseíllo’, which is smaller and embroidered with braids, gold, and religious images.
