The tag implication #46686 capelet -> cape has been rejected.

Reason: A capelet is a type of cape.

EDIT: The tag implication capelet -> cape (forum #342849) has been rejected by @gattonero2001.

It really boils down to this: would people searching for 'cape' feel satisfied getting 'capelet' results mixed in with it from an implication?

I think this is one of those cases where the words sound very similar ...but the actual styles don't overlap as much as they sound like.

Capes are typically thought of as long and drapey. Whether it is superheroes or medieval or fantasy, that long and flowing style is the main idea people are looking to find when they search 'cape'.

Capelets can sometimes be drapey... but they are also often tailored to be close-fitting instead, which looks even less cloak-like. Also, by definition, a capelet is never long. They're almost closer to being a type of shawl instead of being a true cape.

The differences between the two concepts are big enough that if you compare the first page of both, the capelet images would almost look like mistags if they were showing up in the same search as the 'cape' images. (Which is not what a good implication should look like.)

So based on all of this, I don't think capelets are what searchers for 'capes' are actually expecting to find. So implicating them does not seem like it would be very helpful for either tag. Which is why I voted 'no' on this implication idea.

You bring up great points. Even though the implication would technically be correct, it's probably not what people would want to see if they're searching for capes. I changed my vote accordingly.

There's also other cape discussion in these threads:

Do capes qualify as neckwear or can we create a backwear tag for capes, capelets, and stoles?

Good question. I feel like it would count as neckwear seeing as they're typically fastened around the neck, but backwear could definitely also be a valid tag. Similar to a cape, how about an apron? A key difference is it's not only draped around the neck, they usually also have a bit that you tie behind your back. Would it classify as frontwear, opposite of the proposed backwear?

I could get behind that.
