How much would you pay for this? ...That's too much.
Embarrassingly enough, I purchased this cape for $9.98..and it gets worse: shipping was an additional $7.99. Ah, the lengths of which a girl will go through to complete a costume and try to look exceptional. This cape was cheaply made--seams are coming undone at all ends-- and the material is rather transparent. There is stiff material at the seams of the shoulders on the cape, causing a very broad look, which looks VERY odd for those with slender shoulders, as it puffs up dramatically and cannot be contained. The collar, which is my mistake for over looking, sticks straight up and remains immobile, feeling as though cardboard was shoved beneath the material. Perhaps a good cape for a very cheap vampire costume for a child, but not so much as an adult superhero. Seems like the only ass kicking I'll be doing is myself.

Not what I wanted
The image and the description show that it has ties around the neck, but the product I received in the mail had a velcro strap. I suppose it would look nice if you intended to have a tie or something to cover it up.For me I didn't have enough length to loosen it around the neck so the collars fit funny and made it look cheesy/cheap. I would not recommend this for an adult due to the sizing.

Good product
Shipping was extremely fast, and it was packaged properly. The cape is a good quality product and made very well. I docked a star though because the picture is not accurate, in the picture it showes that it ties with strings around the neck, which, for my particular costume, that is exactly what I needed, well the cape I got in the mail is actually a thick velcro strap that goes across my throat, I really dont like that about it, and also, the collar is slightly different then pictured, which I also didnt care for, but it's not the end of the world. All in all it's a good product, they just need to update the picture to show what the cape really looks like. I did order two other products from the company, (a wig and cat suit) and they are perfect and came just as pictured.
