Anybody create their own capes? I'm having trouble finding material which is thin enough and cuts without shredding into fibers.
>>11744687 (OP) #I want to try and haven't any experience myself, but I've read about people using microfiber cloths, have you tried any of those? Like the ones for cleaning glasses.
>>11744687If all else fails use thin leather.

Would burlap or canvas work as a cape material? Seems like they would be rather cheap materials at a art supply store.
>>11745454>burlap or canvas work as a cape material? Both would look cheap and not aesthetic, unless you were going for a rough look. Most soft goods are pleather (to look like leather) or cotton (or a blend, to still look soft and comfortable, like cotton), or even a different mix or blend to look like wool, for men's suits, women's skirts, etc. Jersey is often used to mimic the athletic material used in live action to make costumes, and since it works with the wires people want and use for capes.The only real advantage of burlap or canvas would be that it would have a certain stiffness, you don't necessarily want that, IMHO, in capes.You want them to have some give and flow.>Seems like they would be rather cheap materials at an art supplyYep, or a fabric store, or hobby shop; and you can possibly get canvas or burlap at some hardware stores.But again, why?
>>11744687Always shocks me the quality that artisan toy makers put into their work. Truly, fans are doing the best work.

Not bad! Here's another good reproduction cape.
