[MR] pricing a full length cloak

[Una]

I made one a few years ago that has served me well. Between the Wool ( outside) Flannel ( Lining) and the Fur that I trimmed it with, I think I only spent 50 total dollars. I had it together in less then 6 hours as well. 

500 dollars for a cloak is outrageous! Even if it is silk!

$600.00 is a bit steep.  I paid $50.00 for a wool cloak at
Pennsic.......WOW!
