Title: source for capes?
Post by: deaner on December 22, 2012, 10:44:30 PM: wondering where i might go about getting a good blacktail cape and how much i can expect to spend. my dad has a 25 year old blacktail shoulder mount that is looking quite ratty, and id like to get a new cape and have it redone for him.

They can very a lot. If you post a picture I might have one in the freezer that would work for ya.

I keep all kinds of stock capes in the freezer of all different sizes for clients that need them. I don't like to have to locate capes if I don't have to.
