Rod, sorry, I missed your question about the weight of the cape. It's a Rubies cape, and the lining is a beautiful satin. It's all quite heavy when put together.
I'm waiting for some changes from the seamstress and will be adding pics to my SLD WIP located HERE. I'm just buzzing with desire to get the pieces in from Portumac (helmet, belt, belt boxes, chest box) and modify my Rubies shin armor and chest armor.
