Coyote's Capotes

Coyote's Capotes
Blackfoot, Idaho

***Check out our new blog for current info.***

Living in the high lonesome of Idaho is a true artist at his craft, keeping the mountain man spirit alive. Jack Montgomery has been crafting his Coyote's Capotes and swapping lies at the many Rendezvous in the region for a long time - and still has his hair! Why, he's survived in this country by being the best at what he does, not unlike those that went before. Take alook at just about the best mountain man high-fashion to be found anywhere...

Capotes The origin of the capote can be traced to the French; it means "coat". Dating back to the 17th century, it was widely used as a trade item, and treasured by mountain man and native American alike.

Each wool blanket destined for use in a capote is handmade which goes into every capote. All capotes have Jack Montgomery's trade mark label "Coyote's Capotes", a comfort-split up the back, hoods, and genuine leather fringe trim. "Coyote's Capotes" are even washable; just a simple cold water wash and allow to drip dry (similar to taking a dunk off a spunky horse in the middle of the Salmon River).

Below are some examples of my handmade capotes. Since blanket availability is always changing, please feel free to contact Jack or Debbie (208) 684-4607 for current selection. Pricing on capotes range from $275.00 - $375.00, plus shipping, depending on blanket material used.

Joe Lando, who played the character "Sully" on the popular television show "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman", is the proud owner of a Coyote's Capote in the "Trapper" style.

Next time you are in Great Falls Montana check out the Charlie Russell Museum and you will find Jack’s Capotes being displayed.
