Speaking of Cloaks...
I'm in need of one.....
It would be for Lycaelon of course. And I need specific things...
But, I also need it as cheap as I can get it too. So yeah. I have my measurements already too.
Length: 63 inches.
Shoulder: 21 inches.
Arm: 30 inches.
I want the cloak thinger to be made out of warm material. Color black of course.. I want dark red trim all around every edge. The arms I want to be fairly large (like a wizard..) And a button closed pocket in each cuff. I would like a cowl (sp?) not a hood. And I would like one pocket over each hip, and on the inside over the chest, each side. I would also like the cloak to have dark red lining on the inside as well. And I also have a symbol I would like put on the back of the cloak, but that can be done later.
If anyone is willing to do this for a fair price, let me know.
Thanks,
Casey

Holy crap.. Triple post! -dies-
Well, I'm willing to pay for all the materials of course. And your time spent on it. 30 to 50 sounds reasonable to me. (since at the store just a simple cloak (a good on one) costs 70... price gouging SOBs)

just an FYI
Seamstress charges are often 20-25$ per hour. If you already have material and pattern, (with your trim and extra pockets) you are probably looking at 4-8 hours of work for a custom cloak.
A 'fair' price from a seamstress for custom work of this kind could easily be 150-200. Not including materials.
Just an FYI - custom work can often be costly, so if you estimate is higher than you expected do not be too surprised. As an alternative - consider buying a simple black cloak after the holliday and having the pockets and trim added. That would take considerably less time, and save you on material costs.
