In 2021 El Drac de Mataró celebrated its 30th anniversary, and at Robafaves we wanted to mark the occasion in style: presenting the Drac de Mataró Correfoc Cape. A unique piece that will leave no one indifferent. The only correfoc cape in the world with El Drac de Mataró embroidered on it.

Materials and construction

Made from two layers of 100% cotton: a black outer fabric of 400 g/m² and a green inner lining of 160 g/m². The double layer guarantees the best protection for children and adults alike.

The Drac de Mataró design is sublimated onto a small piece of polyester embroidered and sewn onto the cape, ensuring maximum durability and resistance of the design. The rest of the cape is entirely 100% cotton.

Exclusive details

• Green crest — dragons have crests, and our cape proudly wears one. It stays firm and does not droop over time.
• Green embroidered tail at the lower centre of the cape, representing the distinctive tail of El Drac de Mataró.
• Green bias binding in 100% cotton on the finishing, a nod to the jacket worn by the Drac comparsa. The green contrasts against the black give a unique, fun and striking look.

Available sizes

• Small — approx. 3 to 6 years. Length: 60 cm from the nape of the neck to the bottom of the cape.
• Medium — approx. 7 to 9 years. Length: 76 cm from the nape of the neck to the bottom of the cape.
• Large (Adult) — 10 years to adult. Length: 1 metre from the nape of the neck to the bottom of the cape.

Safety at the correfoc

This cape does not have a flame-resistant treatment. Flame-resistant treatments are simply a liquid applied to the base fabric with a limited lifespan. They do not last forever and lose effectiveness with washing.

It is essential to understand that any type of fabric, regardless of any flame-resistant treatment it may have received, can burn when it comes into direct contact with fire or sparks. This is why it is crucial that the fabric is thick and does not contain plastic such as polyester, which can melt with heat and stick to the skin.

To guarantee user safety, we make our capes from 100% cotton with a high fabric weight, providing the best protection against sparks and fire.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this cape and generic correfoc capes?
This is the only cape in the world with El Drac de Mataró hand-embroidered on it. Generic capes carry no identifying design or local identity. Our double fabric of 400 g/m² outer and 160 g/m² inner also offers superior protection.

Does the cape have a flame-resistant treatment?
No, and no quality correfoc cape has a permanent one. What really protects is the 100% high-weight cotton, which resists sparks without melting or sticking to the skin as polyester would.

Does the Drac embroidery hold up through washing?
Yes. The design is sublimated onto a small piece of polyester embroidered and sewn onto the cape. It stays intact wash after wash.

What sizes are available?
Three sizes: Small (3-6 years, 60 cm), Medium (7-9 years, 76 cm) and Large (10 years to adult, 1 metre). Measurements from the nape of the neck to the bottom of the cape.

Where is it made?
Designed and made entirely in Mataró. A unique product you will not find in any other shop in the world.
