Pachones in Mexico City

Consequently finding where to purchase a Michoacan “Capote de Plumas”, or Pueblan “Capisallo” has become virtually impossible.
Until recently when I came across some “Pachones” for sale at Jarcieria “El Baratero” in Mexico City.
The “Pachones” come from the State of Hidalgo and are made with the same weave as the “Capisallo” from Northern Puebla.
For anyone wishing to buy one of the few remaining palm rain capes in the world, without venturing to the remotest villages in Mexico, visit Jarcieria “El Baratero” in the central Mexico City.
Jarcieria “El Baratero” is very accessible and is located only a few blocks from the Central Zocalo, on Calle Jesús María No.134 (on the corner with Calle Regina).
