Always fascinating to see the golden tint in their webbing!

In case you’ve never seen this…..The World’s Rarest Garment” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Spider_Silk_Cape

The details of the weaving are interesting. There is an orb web pattern at the shoulder and ( not shown ) a woven Orbweaver on the back of the cape.
