The interior of the cape is fully lined with a dark grey rayon liner with a high sheen, while the cape is secured during wear by a green wool strap on the left collar bearing a pebbled, silvered zink button meeting a strap with a reinforced buttonhole on the opposite side. The interior of the collar also bears a machine-embroidered label clealy reading “MEISTER-KRONE” and “EIN QUALITÄTSBEGRIFF”. The collar also bears a loop for suspension, as well as a magnetic metal clip on the right meeting a loop of identical construction on the left.
