Cool postcards enjoyed looking at them – what’s with all the heavy cloak / costs the women were wearing in Clonakilty though ?
The hooded cloak was worn by women native to west Cork,for many years there was a bar in Maccroom which was called the hooded cloak.
It’s called a traditional hooded cloak .
They look like Burkas.
That’s a very traditional type of cloak. Various types of shawls and cloaks were common throughout the whole country until relatively recently.
The Bandon Cloak or Kinsale Cloak was used in the film The French Lieutenant’s Woman; fantastically flattering cloak, with the huge hood framing the face: http://filmfanatic.org/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/Streep.JPG
Love the postcards… Should bring them back… The ones that we used to have in the good ole days. The ones that we have now are a bit boring..
They are too un PC to bring back, same reason you’ll never buy a golly bar again
I love the guy’s sassy swimming togs in the ’70′s beach pic.
I’m not sure what’s “saucy” about these postcards.
sick of the trolls on this site
Are you trying to scare away the trolls with your physique?
This was written by my friend Perry! It’s a great book and a perfect Christmas present. I recommend that you all go out and buy a copy!
Any information on the dates they were published? Some off them are obviously pre-Independence.
Not saucy compared to what you gat nowadays, but I love them, well done. Brings back memories of holidays in Tramore and such like.
Coats oops
The hinde postcard…legend
The cloaks might look like burkas, but if any of those women would emigrtate to other places they would dress appropriately to the country/climate they would end up in. Is the Cork shawl, the Kinsale or Clonakilty cloak to be seen anywhere in the world today ?
have your say
