There are large, patch pockets and a draped hood to keep you warm and toasty. A front separating zipper allows this poncho to also be used as a shawl.

The sleeve area is turned up with a buttonhole in the seam, so that the length can be changed to any preferred length by moving the button. The buttons on this poncho are brass squares with the sun in the center.

This poncho has been garment dyed by hand, using a low impact dye. The process of dyeing pre-shrinks the fabric, which is then machine washed and dried. It is advised to launder with like colors in case of any bleeding of the dye.

This poncho is called "low tide" because it is a longer length, measuring approximately 25" from neck to hem.
