I am pretty tall (6'1"), so the other shorter/thinner capes weren't long enough or thick enough for me, so I decided to get this one. It hovers about a foot off the ground when it is tied around my neck which I originally thought was fine for me. Also, the standard mask/cape that comes with the Batman Dark Knight Deluxe costume I heard was a joke (true), so I bought this at the same time I bought the Deluxe costume. I am fairly happy with it so far, I tried it on already and it feels and looks great. It seems to be double lined with the standard polyester costume material and stitched together nicely. It seems to have a quality stiff collar, which I won't be using for my Batman costume, (I'm going to tuck it in). The width of it is impressive, I can nearly spread my arms open wide while holding the sides (like Batman gliding does). I am looking to make some modifications to it like adding velcro to keep in on my shoulders rather than the string around the neck, which kind of chokes me a bit. Also, adding some sort of thin rods to the edges to make the stiff effect while spreading the cape like in the Grand Heritage Supreme Batman costume. I was also impressed with the "wavy" stitching job going from the collar on down. Overall I am pretty impressed with the cape for the price but am now wishing I had bought a longer cape, and considering how the tie around the neck chokes me, I will give it 4 stars.
